This unique Grade II listed church conversion occupies an idyllic country setting in picturesque East Cranmore, just outside of Cranmore village.

Built on the site of a former Saxon church, St. James' Church was the creation of Thomas Henry Wyatt and constructed for the Paget family in 1846.

The church then closed in the 1950s and was restored by its current owners who took ownership in 1985 and converted it into a dwelling. This impressive church conversion has retained its imposing spire and many of its original ecclesiastical features.

Inside, the property has an open plan feel to the ground floor with the former nave, chancel and vestry now providing a welcoming living area with impressive masonry complete with intricate detail, large ornate windows, and stripped wooden and flagstone floors. A bespoke fitted kitchen, a utility room and a cloakroom complete this level.

An ornate cast-iron spiral staircase leads to the first floor to a large open plan occasional bedroom area which links to the principal bedroom with its en-suite bathroom and the second bedroom and a shower room. Steps lead up to another bathroom, which has a staircase up to a study/fourth bedroom.

Outside, the property sits in grounds of 20 acres which comprise of formal gardens and a well-maintained paddock field. Immediately around the home are paved seating areas, gravel pathways and well-stocked flower beds. There are lawns around these areas interspersed with beautiful box and conifer hedging as well as some specimen trees.
