St Johns Church was built around 1875 to serve the local rural community of Howle Hill. Constructed of dressed stone beneath a slate roof, they operated as a place of worship for over a century until de-commissoned in 2001. St Johns Church has been converted into a splendid period house, works carried out to a meticulous standard with NHBC guarantee. Enormous attention has been paid to matching the original ecclesiastic features of dressed stone, carved stone font and pupit, gothic stained glass windows and splendid domed ceilings. Approached from the lane over a gravel driveway to a paved parking area St Johns Church is entered beneath an impressive gothic arched porch. There are lawns to both the front and rear flanked by stone walls, gravel pathways and a row of beech trees looking out to pastures and woodland beyond. Adjacent to the propery is the former Sunday school which has been created into a 2 bedroom cottage and could be made available by separate negotiation.
