Originally built circa 1886, and then enlarged and restored in 1909, this charming, historical, and UNIQUE, FIVE BEDROOM converted church hall was initially built as a memorial to the locally revered Reverend Edgar Summers, hence its name! The property is located in a prime and popular village location and offers flexible and well proportioned accommodation with original Victorian features and church inspired architecture. Immediately you step in to this unique property you instantly feel part of its rich history and local heritage. Thought to have been used by the Home Guard during the Second World War, and also a school dining hall, the previous owners undertook a full award winning conversion in 2000 transforming the property in to a really fabulous family home. Summers Hall is now a modern day home complemented and enhanced by many of the original features of the Church Hall such as exposed wooden ceiling beams, minstrels gallery which overlooks the main living space, and stained glass window features. The property further benefits from driveway parking for three vehicles and an enclosed private garden with decked area.
