Wilkinson SLM are proud to present, with NO ONWARD CHAIN, a
rare opportunity to own a remarkable piece of English history in the desirable
village of Churchend, Twyning. Welcome to ‘The Dovecote’ – an extraordinary
two-bedroom detached home that once formed part of a monastery dating back to
1086. Lovingly renovated by the current owners, this property blends
centuries-old character with contemporary comfort, offering a truly unique
living experience.
Set behind a pillared entrance and generous driveway, The
Dovecote invites you into its charming grounds through a front gate. Inside,
the entrance hall immediately showcases the home’s historic charm, featuring
original dovecote hole walls and practical built-in storage.
To the left, discover a characterful double bedroom with
French doors opening onto the front garden and distinctive dovecote
architecture – a true nod to the home’s origins.
From the hall, a staircase leads to the showstopping lounge:
a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, original dovecote walls, and an abundance
of natural light create a grand yet welcoming space. This impressive room once
formed the heart of the monastery and remains the soul of the home today.
Returning to the entrance hall, an archway leads into the
thoughtfully designed ‘bungalow wing’, beginning with a rustic dining room full
of charm and flowing seamlessly into a refitted kitchen. Complete with built-in
electric oven, gas hob, and freestanding fridge freezer, the kitchen also
offers convenient side access to the garden.
Further along, a double bedroom benefits from a modern
ensuite shower room, while a separate refitted family bathroom, complete with a
bath and overhead shower, provides additional convenience for guests.
Outside, the beautifully landscaped garden is a peaceful
outdoor space. With a patio seating areas, a built-in barbecue, and a blend of
lawn, gravel, and mature shrub borders, it’s an ideal space for entertaining or
simply enjoying the tranquil surroundings.
With most of the accommodation thoughtfully arranged on the
ground floor, The Dovecote offers versatile and comfortable living, all wrapped
in an irreplaceable historical package. A viewing is highly recommended to
truly appreciate the timeless charm and character of this extraordinary home.
