Additional Information

The Old Chapel – A Unique Blend of Period Charm and Contemporary Living

With over 2,200 sq ft of beautifully arranged living space, The Old Chapel is a truly special home. Thoughtfully reimagined by the current owners, the property seamlessly fuses period architecture with striking design features and high-quality contemporary finishes, offering a versatile and characterful living environment.

Accommodation

Entering through a dramatic arched front door, you arrive in a practical entrance hall—ideal for boots and coats after countryside walks. This leads through to the heart of the home: A stunning open-plan kitchen and dining room. Here, soaring vaulted ceilings and expansive arched windows flood the space with natural light, while a circular stained-glass window pays homage to the building’s ecclesiastical past. A country-style kitchen with a breakfast bar and exquisite tiling showcases the exceptional craftsmanship found throughout the home.

From the kitchen, the hallway connects to two well-proportioned bedrooms, a stylish shower room, and a separate bathroom. The layout continues into a spacious and flexible sitting room, which benefits from a large glass skylight—an eye-catching feature added by the current owners. Exposed brickwork, a wood-burning stove, and access to a secondary entrance add to the charm and usability of this space.

Beyond the sitting room is a further bedroom featuring dramatic crittall-style windows and doors that open onto the grounds, framing tranquil garden views. This room includes a private en suite shower room and a luxurious sauna.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom makes a bold statement with its semi open-plan configuration, vaulted ceilings, and a freestanding rolltop bath that serves as the centrepiece of this indulgent retreat.

Gardens & Grounds

To the front of the property is a convenient parking area set behind attractive railings, accessed via a pedestrian gate. The garden—partly laid out as a historic graveyard in keeping with the chapel’s origins dating back to 1836—adds a unique sense of character and history. At the rear, the grounds offer a secluded haven with a spacious patio and plenty of room for outdoor seating and entertaining.

The Old Chapel also benefits from a detached double garage with electric doors and additional loft space, complementing the loft storage within the main house.
