Church Hill has a wonderfully private and peaceful setting, high on a hillside above the village and surrounded by a large garden behind a screen of mature trees that dominate Pitney. Whilst its setting has not changed over the years, the house has undergone a complete transformation by the current owners with a comprehensive renovation of the property. This was completed to a very high standard and today the property is beautifully presented. The works included remodelling the internal layout to create a feeling of space and light throughout the house and an orangery was added on that is accessible directly from both the sitting room and kitchen/breakfast room and opens out via bi-fold doors to a newly created, curved terrace enjoying all day sunshine which takes in the full expanse of the garden and the countryside beyond the village. The reception hall and first-floor galleried landing above it create a dramatic space at the centre of the house that is complemented by the adjacent, good-sized kitchen/breakfast room. This forms a family hub at the house's core along with the adjacent dining room that together form an open-plan, L-shape. The kitchen looks out on three sides with French windows opening to the orangery, sitting room and hall. It also has space for a seating area and is fully fitted with a range of units incorporating a breakfast bar, built-in electric appliances and a Rangemaster Kitchener 110 electric range cooker. Nearly all the rooms in the house face south including all four double bedrooms, two of which are on the ground floor with the principal bedroom and one other enjoying the most far-reaching views from the first floor. The principal bedroom and two others have their own, ensuite bath/shower rooms and the fourth has a bath and shower room immediately adjacent to it. Underfloor heating is installed in the Hall, Kitchen & dining rooms and a sophisticated AV system provides a number of options including a zoned audio system with ceiling speakers and extended wifi wired to ceiling boosters evenly spread throughout both floors and the office.

Whilst not strictly a no-through lane, the passing lane leads on to two neighbouring houses and a farm and connects with the network of lanes that thread their way through the surrounding countryside, so there is almost no passing traffic. Church Hill is set back from it with a gravelled parking area immediately in front of the house. To one side is a newly erected, double timber car port. The garden largely extends out to one side and behind the house and is designed to be easily maintained. The terrace drops down to the lawn below before sloping gently away from the house. In summer the dining terrace is shaded in sunny weather by a shade sail suspended from the house itself and a semi-circle of stout posts. Beyond the lawn and extending down into one corner is a charming, wooded glade crisscrossed by a network of paths and a spring-fed stream that rises within the glade. At the rear of the garden and a short distance from the house is a timber building, which has its own sun lounging deck and incorporates a good-sized home office, gym area and shower room. The beautiful natural garden has avenues of pathways that includes a bridge over a stream, in all the garden and grounds extend to about 0.5 acre (0.2 hectare).

The village is a friendly community with a church, pub (The Halfway House) and two farm shops, one of which is just a 7 minute walk away. Langport has a wide, eclectic mix of shops including a Tesco superstore plus GP, dental and veterinary surgeries (see ).

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
