Duck Street, Churchill Green, Churchill

EXCELLENT EQUESTRIAN OPPORTUNITY. Stonewell House is a superbly presented family house set down a quiet no-through country lane on the outskirts of the popular village of Churchill, the property sits comfortably within grounds of approximately 3 acres which includes numerous outbuildings including a stone built one-bedroom cottage, exceptional party barn with bar and swim spa, several other barns/stables and a triple garage. The property has glorious, well tended gardens and is bounded by miles of beautiful rolling countryside.

The accommodation throughout the property is beautifully presented and the myriad of rooms exceptionally versatile; perfect for a large family or indeed those searching for a property to co-habit with dependent relatives, or looking for a property that can also supplement their income.

Stonewell House is approached through remotely operated gates that lead onto an extensive private drive and parking area, sweeping past a neat level lawn to one side and ultimately arriving at the property's triple garage, the entrance to the main house, and also to the independent cottage.

The crisp painted elevations of the farmhouse and its handsome clay tiled roof give you a wonderful first impression of Stonewell House, and every effort and attention to detail has been taken, throughout the house and its grounds, to present the property in turn-key condition, ready to simply move in, unpack and start enjoying.

MAIN HOUSE

Entering the property through a pretty, enclosed storm porch you continue into a welcoming reception hallway, off which you will find a handy ground floor cloakroom, as well as access to a spacious dual aspect drawing room, formal dining room, separate office/study (which could also be utilised as a play room for children) and a farmhouse style kitchen with an attractive tumble stone floor and painted solid oak kitchen units. The kitchen features solid walnut block counter tops, space for a Rangemaster style cooker, a number of integrated appliances and a large utility room with a walk-in pantry and larder.

From the kitchen/breakfast room you access the property's principal reception room, a spacious family-sized living room with a glorious log burner feature fireplace, French doors to the rear that lead out to a covered sun terrace, and a well positioned lantern ceiling light, adding extra illumination to the room. There is a further lobby/porch to the side of the room giving easy access out to the side garden.

On the first floor you will find five excellent double bedrooms, all accessed off an impressive galleried landing, which are complemented by a luxurious en-suite bathroom to the master bedroom, and a well appointed family bathroom and further shower room off the landing. 

THE COTTAGE

Converted in recent years from original stone barns, the cottage offers excellent ancillary accommodation to the main house, or equally could be utilised as a separate dwelling for a dependent relative, or rented out to supplement your income (subject to the necessary consents). The cottage is every bit as impressive as the main house itself and absolutely fit for full time occupation, comprising of a smart fitted kitchen with walk-in pantry and cloakroom off, a good sized sitting room with French doors leading out to a private area of garden on the ground floor, and on the first floor, access is gained via a traditional farmhouse style staircase, with a delightful double bedroom and smart en-suite shower room.

Another lovely feature of the cottage are the French doors within the bedroom that descend down the original hayloft steps and out onto the garden. The cottage is attached to the main property's triple garage giving it further potential (again subject to the right permissions) to create further bedrooms or space if desired.

OUTBUILDINGS AND GARAGING

The triple garages have three single electronically operated doors, and house the central heating boiler for the cottage, which also provides radiators to the garage. Light, power and a gardener's cloakroom are included. Beside the garage is a freezer/workshop room with light, power, water, and a washing machine connection. There is also a superb 47'  barn which has been imaginatively reconfigured as a party barn with its own bar, space for a pool table, wood burner and even its own swim/spa.

There are a number of further wooden structures within the grounds including stables, sheds, greenhouse, tractor barn and a fantastic pergola with outdoor kitchen, woodburner and space for seating.

THE GROUNDS & GARDEN

The grounds at Stonewell House are predominantly south facing and are a mixture of formal lawns, gardens and wild gardens/orchard. There is a post-and-rail enclosed menage for those with equestrian interests and a pony paddock, as well as a chicken/goose run, a wonderfully positioned sun terrace, including an area which is part-covered by a superb glass veranda, and numerous places to sit and enjoy the fantastic rural surroundings.

The boundaries to the garden are well-fenced and established, with deciduous hedging and mature trees. A post and rail fence and five-bar gate divide the formal garden from the 'wild garden', which adjoins the bottom of the paddock and is currently home to a collection of geese. A shallow 'ha ha' is located on the west side of the house where you will also find a number of fruit trees and a gate into the kitchen garden. A gate leads from here into the paddock and an additional gate from the paddock onto Churchill Green allowing for easy access for horses, vehicles etc. There is also a delightful natural pond with water feature in the sweeping front lawn.

What we love about this property... the exceptional combination of beautifully presented living space and stunning south-facing grounds extending to approximately three acres, complete with superb entertaining areas, versatile outbuildings and a beautifully converted cottage, all enjoying a peaceful rural setting.
