A Rare Opportunity to Own a Piece of History – Beautifully Converted Church Hall in Hawthorn Village



Dating back to the 1800s and fully refurbished by the current owners, The Old Church Hall is a remarkable three-bedroom mid-terrace cottage that seamlessly blends historic character with modern comforts. Originally a church hall, this stunning Grade II listed residence, protected by English Heritage, offers a truly unique living experience in the peaceful and picturesque Hawthorn Village.



Upon entering, you are welcomed into a spacious hallway featuring a handy storage cupboard and a beautifully crafted pine bannister. The staircase leads down to the third bedroom — a charming, characterful space with exposed wooden beams that pay homage to the building’s ecclesiastical origins. Also accessed from the hallway is a bright and airy second double bedroom.



Moving through the property, there is convenient access to the rear garden via a side door, alongside a practical utility room and a stylishly appointed family bathroom — all while preserving the characterful charm expected of a period property.



At the heart of the home lies the impressive 28ft open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area — a stunning space designed for comfort and entertaining. Soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed steel-style trusses, and architectural beams create a dramatic and memorable interior. A contemporary multi-fuel burner serves as a cosy focal point. The modern kitchen boasts integrated appliances, ample storage, and a breakfast bar, ideal for both everyday use and hosting guests.



Patio doors open onto a private rear garden, a tranquil sanctuary mostly laid to lawn and bordered by mature shrubs and apple trees — perfect for relaxing or enjoying alfresco dining.



From the living area, a distinctive spiral staircase ascends to the mezzanine master suite, a peaceful retreat featuring generous space and an en-suite bathroom. The elevated position adds to the unique charm of this exceptional home.



Externally, the property impresses with its handsome period façade and beautifully maintained rear garden, enhancing the lifestyle appeal of this one-of-a-kind residence.



The Old Church Hall is a rare gem—offering the chance to own a piece of local history while enjoying the comforts of modern living. Combining period elegance with contemporary practicality, this extraordinary home must be seen to be fully appreciated.



Early viewing is highly recommended.
