3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Sandford Road, Aldershot, Hampshire GU11

St Aiden’s is a truly unique home with a fascinating history. Originally built by the Church of England in 1901, the church closed its doors in 1945 before being sympathetically converted into two private residences during the following decade.

Romans are delighted to offer one of these distinctive homes to the market, with the added benefit of no onward chain.

The front entrance opens into a generous living room, which occupies what was once the altar area of the church. This impressive space retains much of the building’s original character and features a dual-fuel stove set within an attractive inglenook fireplace.

The ground floor also comprises a WC, dining room, fitted kitchen and utility room. The utility room provides access to the kitchen garden, thoughtfully designed for growing vegetables and herbs in raised beds, making planting, maintenance and harvesting particularly easy.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, two of which benefit from fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom features its own en-suite shower room.

A particularly charming feature is the mezzanine gallery, overlooking the living room below. This versatile space would make an ideal home study, reading area or peaceful place to relax, while also allowing you to appreciate the wonderful volume and character of the former church interior.

Outside, the garden continues the property’s individual character, with two well-established apple trees, one dessert and one cooking variety. There is also a productive grapevine, which produces fruit every year, along with established rhubarb.

Adding further to the history of this exceptional home, the gateway into the main garden was once one of the original side entrance doors to the church. The hymn board outside is also original,

To the rear, there is driveway parking together with a large shed providing ample storage.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a much-loved home with a fascinating past, retaining numerous original features and offering a wonderful combination of history, character and comfortable modern living.

Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the space, character and unique history this exceptional home has to offer.
