Converted in the year 2000, traditional 1896 built Anglican Church Old St. John’s is a striking home featuring a barrel-vaulted ceiling, mullion windows and a notable Edward Burne-Jones stained glass window. Offering a flexible layout it is currently set up with three bedrooms, snug/bedroom four, two offices, a gym, a sociable kitchen/dining area, library, utility/boot room featuring a newly installed oil fired boiler and a spectacular first-floor sitting room with a large wood burner. exuding great character, it boasts intricate architectural details throughout. Set back from the A420 Bristol to Chippenham road, the gated property is accessed via the Old Coach Road; a byway which joins Ford to the nearby village of North Wraxall and includes a gravel drive and private gardens with gently sloping rural views. ‘This is a truly one-off home which was a fabulously unusual purchase when we bought it. Over time it has matured into a beautiful home where we have happily brought up our two daughters. Sadly, after 24 years we are now rattling around in the place and feel it is time for a new family to take over the custodianship and enjoy living here,’ explain the owners, who add, ‘the surrounding countryside is idyllic and perfect for walking.’ Sitting in the south Cotswolds hamlet of Ford, with well-known pub The White Hart at its centre, the location offers easy access to Castle Combe, Tetbury, Bath and M4 junctions 17 and 18.

‘Although the road appears to be close, the property is very private and quiet with the garden set to the rear behind the church. It’s worth noting that there are no tomb stones or memorials in the garden.’ There are the remains of the original village hall in the corner of the garden which could be rebuilt as a studio or annexe subject to securing the necessary consents (see further in images).

‘The inside of the building is stunning with a fantastic kitchen/dining area which has the stained-glass window taking centre stage. When the sun pours in it sends amazing colours across the walls – we find having breakfast with such beauty very uplifting!

‘We have entertained extensively over the years and visitors love spending time in such an unusual space. With two separate cooking areas and loads of work surface there is no shortage of space. The dining area easily sits a dozen for a meal.’

‘Lucknam Park Hotel and Spa and The Manor at Castle Combe both have great restaurants however if one fancies city life Bath and Bristol are easy to reach while London Paddington only takes seventy minutes by train from Chippenham.’

‘Chippenham and several local villages offer good state schools while Bath hosts a broad choice of independent & state schools for all ages.’
