| THE FORMER CONVENT OF ST.JOSEPH,
CHEADLE, STAFFORDSHIRE. ST10 1NR This is a fascinating combination of late Georgian and early Victorian architecture, being a townhouse of circa 1800 that was altered and extended by AWN Pugin in 1849 to form a convent. It is situated next to St.Giles’ roman catholic church, reckoned by all to be his finest work. The present owners bought the convent in a dilapidated condition 12 years ago and have renovated it, restoring many of the features that had been lost over the years. Of especial note are the cloisters, the first-floor chapel, and the belltower, from the top of which are far-reaching views. At the rear of the house is a private walled garden, the whole site being about 0.3 acres. There are 4 reception rooms, 5 double bedrooms and 5 attic rooms, along with 2 bathrooms and a cellar. There is even a well in the garden. Cheadle is a market town surrounded by beautiful countryside, about 10 miles from Stoke-on-Trent and 5 miles from Alton Towers (originally the seat of the Earl of Shrewsbury who paid for Pugin to erect the church and convent). The convent is adjacent to St.Giles’ roman catholic primary school and within easy walking distance of Painsley Catholic College, rated by Ofsted as 'outstanding'.

Nr Frome, SomersetChurchfield House is a detached former church of Doulting stone to the design of William Butterfield (1840-1900). His other work included All Saints Church, London, Rugby School and Keeble College, Oxford. The original church was built in 1856 and became pastorally redundant in 1981.

Of particular note are the stained glass gothic windows with leaded lights attributed to Alexander Gibb.  Contact: bdougans@btinternet.com |

Huntingdon, CambridgeshireBuilt c.1840 on the site of the former priory, the Old Lodge is a striking example of Victorian neo-Gothic architecture. Its singular style was strongly influenced by the ideas of John Ruskin, with an emphasis on the work of individual craftsmen in an age, even then, increasingly dependent upon mass production. In this same spirit, throughout a sensitive 3 year renovation, the 'perpetual renewal' of this important building has continued via the employment of master craftsmen and conservation materials and techniques. This deceptively spacious 2–3 bedroom detached home sits in a tranquil setting on the edge of a cemetery, with views of the nearby church and incorporates, amongst a wealth of period features, an exceptional vaulted private chapel. It offers a plethora of original features both internally and externally, including neo-Gothic porch and windows and ornamental barge boards to gables. There is fine Victorian stone masonry throughout, including ornate limestone open bay and lancet windows with limestone mullions and limestone fireplaces with carved mantel and jambs and stone hearths. All of the rooms boast exposed floorboards or tiles, whilst many have fine woodwork such as doors with carved and chamfered jambs, muntins and architraves; and oversized skirting boards. Every downstairs room is double aspect. The Old Lodge additionally benefits from two reception rooms, kitchen/utility room and family bathroom. The property enjoys gas to radiator central heating, a walled garden and off road parking for up to three cars. Huntingdon, the historic market town and birth-place of Oliver Cromwell is just 52 minutes from London by train. Price: £249,995 |
