Church House is a characterful Grade II listed end-of-terrace cottage positioned beside the churchyard in Long Stratton. The property spreads over three floors and retains original features such as an inglenook fireplace and exposed beams, while offering practical family accommodation including a sitting room, kitchen with utility and a versatile landing that could double as a home office.
The layout is flexible: a principal bedroom links to a second bedroom that could be combined to form a larger master suite, and a top-floor guest room provides extra living space. Outside, a private rear garden and timber shed lead to a long driveway with off-street parking for 2–3 vehicles. Useful modern comforts include underfloor heating in the kitchen, utility and ground-floor WC, plus secondary glazing in parts.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and can cause additional cost and consent requirements. The property has timber-frame walls with no assumed insulation and uses oil-fired central heating with a boiler and radiators, so energy upgrades may be needed. There is a single bathroom and the plot is relatively small, which may limit expansion.
Offered freehold and chain-free, this cottage suits buyers seeking period character in a prospering countryside village that will soon be bypassed. It will particularly appeal to families who value character, nearby schools and amenities within walking distance, and a quiet village setting, while being prepared to manage listed-building constraints and potential insulation or heating improvements.
