A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A PIECE OF HISTORY! Belvoir Welwyn are delighted to offer this truly stunning, Grade II Listed family home in the heart of Welwyn Village. Dating back to the mid - 15th century, 'Old Church House' is timber framed and benefits from a wealth of original character features throughout.
Old Church House, sometimes referred to as Church House or Tudor Cottage, is steeped in history. Originally used as the Village Hall, this property has previously functioned as a school, post office, workhouse, almshouse and police station. The addition at the rear is believed to have been the lock up, and then the morgue. This property is incredibly unique, and would make for lovely family home. For the investor there is potential to convert the property into two separate apartments (subject to Planning Permission).

Old Church House is ideally located on Church Street, just next to the Norman church of St. Marys. The property is just a stones throw from the high street, home to a brilliant variety of amenities to include a doctors' surgery, dental surgery, award winning restaurants, pubs, tea rooms, boutique shops and a Tesco Express. Renowned primary schooling is within walking distance, with secondary schooling just a short distance away.

    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
