Steeped in local history ‘The Cottage’ on Church Lane, Churchill is (despite its title) not actually a cottage at all, in fact far from it….

‘The Cottage’ is actually an inspiring renovation of a former stable building, that was once attached to Churchill Court, a grand 16th Century Manor House and local landmark. It is stated that ‘The Cottage’ was formally used as a barracks by John Churchill, an English Soldier from a gentry family, who led a distinguished career, earning military and political advancements during his lifetime, which culminated in him rising to the rank of General and being bestowed as the first Duke of Marlborough.

‘The Cottage’ is set behind a neat walled formal garden and accessed by a private gated entrance, which provides ample parking and access to a double garage.

Built of local stone elevations, under a pan tile roof, with handsome mullion stone windows, it has a truly evocative first impression. The original footprint has been much improved over recent decades, with modern extensions enhancing the property greatly. Throughout the house there is a wonderful blend of old-world charm, coupled effortlessly within unique bespoke refinements. It has a truly unique atmosphere with a versatile and adaptable footprint, it even has its very own outside bar and kitchen in the south/west facing rear garden!

In total the property boasts five bedrooms to the main building with a further double bedroom within the attached annexe. Worthy of particular mention is the gracious triple aspect sitting room which features a gorgeous, beamed ceiling and handsome stone fireplace and the inspiring kitchen/dining room that looks out over the Gothic elevations of neighbouring St. John the Baptist Church, a beautiful Grade 1 listed building with origins dating back as far as 1180.
