One of just six individually designed residences created within this Grade ii-listed landmark, this home blends historic grandeur with modern luxury.

From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by an open-plan, light-filled living space, where the original church flooring and intricately carved pulpit create a spectacular centrepiece. The soaring ceilings and architectural detailing make this an unforgettable entertaining space—full of character, history, and conversation starters. On the ground floor, a versatile third bedroom—currently used as an office—boasts beautiful curved architecture and a wooden ceiling, adding warmth and uniqueness.

Moving up to the first floor, the sleek, modern kitchen seamlessly blends elegance with functionality, offering ample storage and premium appliances to make everyday cooking effortless.

With glass balustrades allowing light to flood in and framing the stunning gothic stained-glass windows, this area is rich in both history and versatility. The second floor is home to two beautifully restored double bedrooms, each featuring an en-suite bathroom or shower room and exposed roof trusses, adding depth and charm to these elegant spaces. The contemporary en-suites complement the period features with crisp white and black finishes, creating a stylish yet serene retreat.

Set against the backdrop of the Brecon Beacons, this home enjoys a perfect balance of peace and accessibility. Abergavenny, famed as a traditional Welsh market town, offers independent shops, award-winning restaurants, and fantastic transport links—all just a short stroll away. Originally built in the late 19th century, Pen Y Fal Chapel was designed to serve the patients and staff of the nearby hospital. With its bull-nosed red sandstone façade, soaring slate roof, and striking octagonal steeple, it remains a masterpiece of Victorian architecture. Inside, the conversion has preserved its most iconic features, including arched stained-glass windows, hewn stonework, and an awe-inspiring vaulted wooden ceiling.

This is more than just a home—it’s a chance to own a one-of-a-kind piece of history, thoughtfully reimagined for modern, stylish living.
