Description

An unlisted Chapel dating back to the 19th century, sympathetically redesigned and restored by the current owners, to reveal a magnificent and versatile home with views, infused with original features and exposed craftsmanship. Externally, the property enjoys landscaped gardens and a gated driveway, providing off-road parking for four vehicles. Being offered for sale with no onward chain.

Upon entering this remarkable conversion at ground level, you are welcomed into the generous and well-appointed hallway. The heart of the home awaits as you move into the open-plan space, combining family, dining, and sitting areas. The vaulted family kitchen, where natural light pours in, creates a bright and inviting space, ideal for entertaining. Adjacent to the kitchen, a wood-burning stove adds warmth and charm to the sitting/dining area. This wonderful space is complemented by a library wall, designed, and infused with quality craftsmanship. Currently used as a snooker room with a variety of quality storage cupboards, adjacent to the sitting/dining area, complements this space. It should be noted that the snooker room could be used for several purposes, including a more formal dining room if desired. The ground floor accommodation is further enhanced by a utility room and a guest cloakroom.

Located on the first floor and offering an incredible entrance with vaulted ceilings, the original handmade African hardwood door "Sapele" sits within the stone arch under the bell tower. From here access leads into the formal living room which enjoys views and showcases a restored mullion window and an impressive, vaulted section. The music room, which is accessed from the living room, enjoys a restored mullion window and vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. It should be noted that the current owners have used this room as a fourth bedroom previously.

From the first-floor hallway, which is split-level, Bedroom One is located. This generous bedroom features a vaulted ceiling area, far-reaching views, and bespoke fitted, quality wardrobes, along with a dressing area. It should be noted that the current vendors use this bedroom as the primary suite, as the luxurious four-piece, vaulted family bathroom, including a freestanding bath, is the neighbouring room.

Continuing upstairs to a split-level landing, Bedroom Two can be located. This spacious bedroom features a vaulted ceiling, airing cupboard, and far-reaching views. From the landing, which benefits from having a deep, full-height storage cupboard, stairs rise to Bedroom Three, a well-appointed room that includes a three-piece bathroom suite, walk-in wardrobe, and an additional storage cupboard.

Externally, the property occupies an elevated private position with steps leading to a carefully curated garden, cleverly designed into several areas. These include a formal lawn garden housing mature flower beds and native trees, various sitting areas, a raised bed growing area, a freshwater pond, a summerhouse, and a greenhouse. The property is accessed via a driveway that provides off-road parking for four vehicles. It should be noted that the current vendors have a detached timber home office space that could be used for a variety of purposes. This is available through separate negotiation. Additionally, if the freshwater pond is a concern, the owners are willing to convert it back to lawn.
