THE GRANDEST

GOTHIC HOMES ON

THE MARKET THIS

HALLOWEEN

Halloween may be a time of pumpkins and fancy dress for most, but for us, it’s the perfect opportunity to uncover some of the grandest, historic homes with spooky twists.

Many of the country’s Gothic churches and manor houses have been

converted into beautiful – if not slightly mysterious – homes.

 This grand architectural style has

created some of the most beautiful properties on the market - we take a

look.

St John’s Church, Hertfordshire - £2.35m

This church conversion has won awards for its blend

of period features and 21st century

technology – it includes concealed televisions, under-

floor heating and a Bose sound system

in the living and dining rooms.

 

The home is spread over three floors and the main reception area is within the original church nave, with a stunning vaulted ceiling.

Fitzhugh Grove, SW18 - £1.1m

This Brothers Grimm-style Gothic building is set on Wandsworth Common, and you can buy a three-bedroom home within the striking property for just over £1m. The three-bed slice of the house has multiple mezzanine levels and a rooftop terrace.

Cliffe Park Hall, Chesham, Buckinghamshire - £600,000This peculiar Grade II listed castle was built in 1811, with Gothic windows, doors and arches, Tudor-style arch heads, a stone-covered entrance and vaulted roof. Can you picture yourself entering through this arch everyday?

Hever Gardens, Kent - £800,000

A former hunting lodge, this Grade II listed home dates

back to 1851. Built in the prime of the

Victorian era, it boasts grand Gothic

architecture, including high

ceilings, a pitched roof balcony,

drawing room ceiling.

If you’re looking for something a little

larger, this country home in Wales has nine bedrooms and

a turret with a spire, stone-

mullioned windows and beautiful

stained glass. The main reception

rooms have views over the park and

the house has been modernised throughout.
