Old Chapel, Barford St. Martin, Salisbury

This stunning and unusual property is a unique home. Built as a Methodist church in 1902 it still maintains many original features including large stained glass windows and ecclesiastical stonework.

The configuration of the rooms is slightly quirky with bedroom 1 on the ground floor and bedrooms 2 and 3 on the upper floor. This has allowed a large part of the upper floor to be used as the main living area which utilises the space and abundant light to maximum effect.

Unlike the thatched cottages either side that are positioned at pavement level, this property is set back and has private off road parking for 2 vehicles.

Stepping into the entrance porch you are immediately enveloped in the history of the property with wooden panelling to walls and ceiling, black and white tiled floor, and stunning geometric coloured stained glass windows. The hall has a herringbone floor and stripped traditional wooden doors.

The galley style kitchen has plenty of Shaker style oak cupboards, a built in double oven, electric hob and dishwasher. A large separate dining room with fireplace and electric fire could be utilised as a family room. French doors lead into a well maintained south facing private garden with mature planting and a small brick patio with fully automatic sun awning.

On the ground floor there is currently a room used as a double bedroom but this could equally be used as a living or dining room. From the hall and bedroom 1 there is a downstairs Jack and Jill bathroom with shower, w/c and vanity unit.

There is a light and bright study/office with two large stained glass windows, wooden panelling with decorative top and floor to ceiling built-in shelving. The current owner does occasionally uses this as a fourth single bedroom.

Upstairs the main living area and landing is open plan and feels large and bright. Light streams in through the large stone framed stained glass windows and Velux rooflights. The vaulted ceiling is clad in wood with original carved edging detail which adds warmth to the bright space. A wood burning stove provides a cosiness for those winter nights.

Bedroom 2 is a large double and could be used as the master. It has floor to ceiling built-in storage and space for additional free-standing furniture.

Bedroom 3, the smallest room, has an en-suite shower room. Both bedrooms have wooden clad vaulted ceilings.
