5 bedroom house

Believed to date from around the 1860's, Christchurch Hall is a handsome stone built former school house set in around half an acre of private gardens.

The property has been under the same ownership since 2005 and has been the subject of a comprehensive programme of modernisation. It now blends modern convenience and styling with masses of period charm with notable features such as high vaulted ceilings with amazing roof structures as well as the original door and window apertures typical of a church school building.

The accommodation centres on three major rooms that include the kitchen, the drawing room and a two-storey vaulted dining room. Furthermore, there is a gym, a study and a garden room as well as a cloakroom and utility that complete the ground floor.

There are two staircases to the first floor with a master bedroom suite, two bedrooms and a family bathroom at one end of the building. At the other end, there are two further guest bedrooms both with en-suite shower rooms.

Outside, the house sits towards the rear of its plot enjoying a southerly aspect with views over the private gardens. The gardens have a very mature boundary and have been fenced to make them dog-proof. Electric gates secure the boundary and give access to a large area of parking.

Not far from the house and perfect for dry storage, there is a wonderful linear-shaped outbuilding that was originally used as the school washrooms.

Services: Mains water and electricity. Private waste. Oil-fired central heating. The property has CCTV installed and a video gate entry system.

NO ONWARD CHAIN.

Surrounded by glorious rolling countryside, Kilcot is a pretty village situated just west of the market town of Newent and almost equidistant between the Cathedral city of Gloucester and the riverside town of Ross-On-Wye. The popular Spa town of Cheltenham is also about a 35 minute drive away.

The popular location is set within the beautiful Gloucestershire countryside and lies close to the Herefordshire/Worcestershire border, an area characterised by traditional farms and wooded hills. It provides a distinctly rural lifestyle benefiting from easy access to local towns and principal transport routes, and good communication links with the motorway network.

Located in the neighbouring valley is the award winning Three Choirs Vineyard complete with its highly regarded restaurant.

Whilst Newent has very convenient primary, junior and comprehensive schooling, public schooling and grammars in the area are excellent. In Gloucester there is Denmark Road Girls Grammar School, Tommy Richs Grammar and The Kings School. Cheltenham, Malvern and Monmouth are all within 30-35 minutes drive and offer an even broader range of highly regarded schools for day children and boarders.

Both Newent and nearby Dymock have golf courses and the highly regarded South Herefordshire Gold Club is also within 10 minutes' drive.
