About this property

    Nestled in the heart of the idyllic village
    of Braughing, Churchgate House is a remarkable 17th-century cottage, positioned opposite the village church in a quiet, timeless enclave known as Church End.
    Directly opposite the village church-this beautifully restored period home offers a rare opportunity to own a substantial and elegant country property.

    Boasting over 3,500 sq ft of internal accommodation arranged across three character-filled floors, the home is further enhanced by approximately one acre of landscaped grounds, along with a detached triple garage and adjoining home office/studio totalling an additional 662 sq ft-ideal for remote working, creative pursuits, or guest accommodation.

    Thoughtfully reconfigured to suit modern living, the ground floor combines function with sophistication. Highlights include a welcoming sitting room, a formal music room, an expansive dining room, a bespoke handmade kitchen, and a stylish utility room-all finished to the highest standard. A lower ground cellar adds flexible space, ideal for wine storage or a pantry.

    The first floor offers four generously proportioned bedrooms and three luxuriously appointed bathrooms, including a stunning principal suite with serene views over the grounds. A separate cloakroom enhances everyday convenience. The second floor features a fifth bedroom, currently arranged as a private home office with views across the village-ideal for quiet focus or creative inspiration.

    Approached via a sweeping gravel driveway, Churchgate House offers a sense of arrival rarely found. The detached triple garage provides secure parking and further storage, with the added benefit of a fully equipped studio/home office. The grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped to provide a blend of formal gardens, open lawns, and multiple entertaining spaces-perfect for enjoying the tranquil village setting.

    The current owners have undertaken an extensive and meticulous refurbishment, transforming the property while preserving its historic integrity. Works include a complete reconfiguration of the ground floor layout, installation of new heating and electrics, custom-designed bathrooms and kitchen, and significant structural enhancements-all carried out with exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail.

    Churchgate House is a timeless residence of rare quality and character-offering the perfect blend of heritage, space, and modern refinement in one of Hertfordshire’s most desirable villages.
