The Old Church is situated about 2 miles east of Wells in the unspoilt village of East Horrington surrounded by farmland and lovely walks. From its slightly elevated position, there are views to Glastonbury Tor. It was built in 1838 in the Gothic style. It was converted in about 1977. The present owners purchased the property in 2008 and further enhanced the already contemporary interior, by redecorating throughout. Although contemporary in design, many of the Gothic features including archways and tall arched windows with stained glass have been retained, creating an impressive and distinctive interior. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and is extremely adaptable. Whilst there are bedrooms on the ground floor, they could very easily revert to reception rooms. The 44' open plan kitchen/breakfast/living room is perfect for entertaining. Off the kitchen/breakfast/living room is a bedroom or reception room, and the “Green Room” or, reading room, opens to the outside. The inner full height reception hall is most striking with a split central staircase leading to a gallery dining room with triple Gothic windows with stained glass of one landing. Off the second landing, there are three bedrooms, shower room, and an atmospheric sitting room. The sitting room, with extensive views, has a central log burning stove, vaulted ceiling, arched windows, wood floor and one wall exposed in stone.
In recent years, The Old Church, has generated a good income through letting via Airbnb, and further accommodation could be added by converting the attic roof space, subject to any necessary planning consents.
