Description
Located in a picturesque semi-rural setting opposite the Hundred Foot River, The Old Chapel is a beautifully restored former Methodist chapel that seamlessly blends historic charm with modern convenience. This exceptional five-bedroom residence offers an idyllic retreat with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, perfect for those seeking a peaceful yet well connected home.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a spacious entrance hall leading to a thoughtfully designed living space. The elegant sitting room is bathed in natural light, providing a bright and inviting space to relax while enjoying stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The expansive kitchen and dining area is a true highlight, featuring modern fittings and trifold doors that open onto a newly laid patio, making it perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining.
Upstairs, five well-appointed bedrooms offer flexible accommodation, ideal for family living, guest rooms, or home office space. The master bedroom boasts large windows that frame breathtaking countryside views, enhancing the sense of tranquillity. A newly refurbished bathroom features both a bath and shower, ensuring practicality and comfort.
This home has been carefully modernised while preserving its historic charm. The property benefits from newly installed double-glazed windows and doors, improved insulation and a modern oil boiler that is future-ready for bio oil. The living room floor has been raised and insulated and high-quality, waterproof laminate flooring laid throughout, while the loft has been cleared and newly insulated. Additional internal updates include new internal doors and a newly installed downstairs cloakroom.
Externally, The Old Chapel sits within beautifully landscaped grounds. A private lawned garden, complete with fish pond, provides a peaceful outdoor retreat. The entrance area features gravel and a new garden path, enhancing both accessibility and aesthetic appeal. The property also offers ample parking with a generous driveway that accommodates multiple vehicles. Major external renovations include a new sewage treatment plant (meeting 2020 regulations), a double-skinned oil tank, new soffits, gutters, and downpipes, and an overhauled roof with new lead flashing. The garden has been revitalised with new topsoil and turf, and a prepared edge is ready for planting a robust yew hedge or similar.
LOCATION
The Old Chapel enjoys an enviable position on the ‘best side’ of the Welney Wash, an area renowned for its stunning wildlife and seasonal transformations. Each winter, thousands of swans migrate to the nearby Welney Wetland Centre, offering a truly magical spectacle. Despite its rural charm, the property is well-connected, with easy year-round access to local shops and amenities. Littleport’s recently refurbished railway station provides regular services to Ely, Cambridge, and London, making it an ideal home for commuters and nature lovers alike.
Offering the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience, The Old Chapel is an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a distinctive and characterful home in a truly breathtaking setting.
