Location Woodplumpton is a highly desirable village, offering an appealing blend of countryside tranquility and everyday convenience. Surrounded by attractive Lancashire farmland yet situated just a few miles north of Preston, the village enjoys a strong sense of community centred around its historic church, village pub and well-regarded primary school. Residents benefit from easy access to excellent road networks (via the M55 and M6), making commuting to Preston, Lancaster, Manchester and beyond remarkably straightforward, whilst still enjoying the slower pace and close community associated with village life. The surrounding countryside provides wonderful opportunities for walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits, and nearby villages and market towns offer a wide range of additional amenities. For those seeking a rural lifestyle without sacrificing connectivity, Woodplumpton strikes a rare and enviable balance between peace, practicality and community spirit. Setting the scene In recognition of the age and original period features, Historic England has classified Church House Farm as a Grade II Listed Building. Their online listing refers to the house as:  Farmhouse, now house. Early to mid-C17, altered. Handmade brick, slate roof. Three-bay baffle-entry plan. Two storeys; 1st floor band, the wall above this now covered by C20 applied half-timbering with plastered panels; board door in line with ridge chimney at junction of 2nd and 3rd bays, four 4-pane sashes at ground floor and 3 casements above. Rear also altered. Interior: ground floor retains principal elements of C17 structure: back-to-back inglenook fireplaces in 2nd and 3rd bays, the former with stopped 1/4-round moulded bressummer and firewindow (altered), the latter with stop-chamfered bressumer; these rooms have beams matching the bressumers, lateral in the 2nd bay and longitudinal in the 3rd; staircase off rear left corner of 2nd bay, former staircase in front right corner of 3rd bay removed; service-end doorways from 2nd bay. Rich in character and period charm, this former farmhouse retains a wealth of original features that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Two impressive inglenook fireplaces provide striking focal points, with the larger inglenook in the sitting room housing a wood-burning stove, while a second in the kitchen beautifully frames the Aga. The dining room features an attractive red-brick chimney breast and fireplace surround, and whilst not currently housing an open fire, it adds further character. Exposed ceiling beams run throughout the property, complemented in the dining room and study by tongue-and-groove boarded ceilings set between the beams, enhancing the home's traditional farmhouse appeal. In keeping with the property's heritage, boarded internal doors, although not original, have been carefully chosen to blend sympathetically with the period features and contribute to the home's unique charm. Step inside  The property can be approached from either the attractive front porch or, as is more commonly the case for everyday living, via the spacious garden hall at the rear, conveniently positioned adjacent to the parking area and garage. Both entrances provide a warm and welcoming first impression. Entering through the front porch, a small inner hall forms the heart of the ground floor, with the kitchen to one side and the sitting room to the other. The dining kitchen is the epitome of a traditional farmhouse kitchen, beautifully fitted with classically styled cabinets painted in a soft buttermilk shade, complemented by Corian work surfaces and a central island topped with granite; a cool surface perfect for pastry making. There is ample space for a family dining table and chairs, while even the family dog has been considered, with a cosy nook for a bed tucked in beside the Aga. Practicality is equally well catered for, with a useful utility room leading off the kitchen, providing access to the rear entrance, together with an internal door to the attached double garage. The garage benefits from an electric door and has been thoughtfully subdivided to include a convenient outside WC, ideal when working in the garden or fields. Returning to the inner hall, the sitting room is an impressively proportioned and immensely characterful space, perfectly suited to both everyday family life and entertaining guests. Beyond lies the atmospheric dining room, a room made for special occasions and festive gatherings, while a separate study offers an ideal home-working environment or could equally serve as a cosy snug or teenagers' retreat. To the rear of the house, the generous garden hall is a room in itself and provides an alternative entrance complete with a cloakroom fitted with a two-piece suite and ample room for coats and outdoor footwear. From the garden hall, stairs rise to the first-floor landing, where three well-proportioned double bedrooms enjoy a sunny south-facing aspect and all benefit from fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom is served by an ensuite shower room comprising a shower enclosure, vanity unit and WC. The remaining two bedrooms are served by the surprisingly spacious family bathroom which, whilst reflecting its era, remains entirely functional and presents an excellent opportunity for new owners to update and personalise to their own taste. Step outside The outdoor space is a particular feature of Church House Farm, extending to approximately 1.81 acres in total and offering a rare combination of mature gardens, versatile outbuildings and useful grazing land. To the front of the property, the south-facing garden is attractively bordered by established trees and shrubs which provide both privacy and year-round interest, framing the kerb appeal of this striking period home. A driveway to the side leads through gates into a generous parking and turning area to the rear, providing ample space for multiple vehicles and access to the attached garage. Adjacent to the house, a paved seating terrace offers an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, with plenty of room for garden furniture to enjoy the peaceful surroundings where wildlife flourishes, a wide variety of birds visit whilst hares and deer have been seen in the field. Beyond a second gate lies one of the property's most distinctive assets: a substantial stable block offering exceptional versatility. Currently subdivided into loose boxes, an office, store, kitchenette and two cloakrooms, the building could readily continue in an equestrian role or be adapted to suit a wide range of alternative uses. It presents exciting possibilities for home offices, a gym, workshop, studio space or hobby rooms, while the removal of internal partitions would create an impressive open-plan area suitable for a variety of enterprises, subject to any necessary consents. Further complementing the property are a detached but derelict red-brick barn and the shell of a Dutch barn, both offering considerable scope for restoration, redevelopment or alternative uses, subject to the appropriate permissions. The remaining land forms most of the acreage and provides a wonderful extension of the property's lifestyle appeal. Whether utilised for small-scale animal husbandry, enjoyed as a haven for wildlife, or simply as a safe and exciting environment for children and dogs to explore, the grounds offer a wealth of possibilities. Collectively, Church House Farm presents a rare opportunity to embrace country living on the edge of a popular village, combining the space, freedom and versatility of a rural property with the convenience of excellent accessibility and everyday amenities within easy reach.

What the owners say: We love this beautiful house as it is in such a special location so close to the station, the Pantiles and excellent local schools including the popular Claremont primary which can be seen from the house and is the only location that is ‘definitely’ in the catchment area. It is also quiet and peaceful with no road noise, it being situated on the bend of Poona Road, away from main arterial routes and, because it is a private road, it is very secure for both children and pets. The verge outside the house is partially owned by the property and represents a fun gathering place for the road’s community to gather and have a bonfire of for the children to play safely. We have designed the interior to be luxurious and individual but still practical including the underfloor heating system that can be controlled from your phone and thermostatically control each room independently. Even the two Velux windows in the kitchen can be controlled from your phone and include rain sensors so they automatically shut. As the house was originally built in 1837 we felt strongly that it should be restored to its former glory and have paid attention to every single detail with no expense spared. As a result it has been given the highest accolade by the town’s ‘Civic Society,’ which looks out for excellence in development and conversion and was awarded by the Mayor. This house has been a wonderful place to live with a real community feel but also being detached with its own off road parking area has also been a godsend, giving us the best of both worlds. We have poured our heart and soul into every part of the design and, while we have loved living here, it’s now ready for someone new to enjoy it and the close-knit local community where we have made many friends. Tunbridge Wells or, more formally Royal Tunbridge Wells, became a famous spa town in Regency times when it was frequented by the aristocracy who came to take the waters and enjoy the entertainment organised by Beau Nash.

With regard to education there are a number of primary and secondary schools rated Outstanding by Ofsted including St Peters’ C of E primary and the Bennett Memorial Diocesan School, the St Gregory’s Catholic School and Tunbridge Wells Girls Grammar School. You will also find excellent private schools in the area including Rosehill, The Mead, Holmewood House and Beechwood prep and secondary school as well as the famous Tonbridge School founded in 1553. Additional entertainment facilities include a nine-screen Odeon cinema, the Trinity theatre, the wellrespected Assembly Theatre and exhibitions in the Amelia Scott cultural centre. For sports enthusiasts there are a variety of sports facilities available including the Neville golf club, cricket, football and rugby clubs as well as the indoor sports and a swimming pool while the tennis club is one of the oldest in the country with 21 courts including 8 grass courts.

Sitting Room & Formal Dining Room: The sitting room is a calm, sophisticated retreat in soft sage tones, centred on a wood-burning stove with sliding and bi-fold doors opening to the terrace and garden beyond. A generous formal dining room, comfortably seating ten and more, enjoys garden views and French doors to the terrace — ideal for occasions large and small.

A substantial raised Indian-stone terrace — edged with metal balustrading above an attractive stone-clad retaining wall — spans the rear of the house, providing an excellent setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.
