Description
Description
With a charming, semi-rural setting between the villages of Minchinhampton and Chalford, this characterful home offers stunning, far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside. The former chapel was initially constructed in 1902 and was known as the Victoria Memorial Chapel; it was built to commemorate the death of Queen Victoria in the same year. The chapel has since been converted to a very high standard, creating a stylish and well-appointed home without losing its considerable character. Internally, there are a number of original features including high arched windows, wood panelling and a stunning vaulted ceiling in the main reception room, which is a fabulous space for entertaining and offers a real wow factor with its stained-glass windows. The interiors are beautifully presented and incorporate modern additions which are balanced by the character features. The ground floor is entered via a welcoming hallway leading to a bedroom, shower room with WC/laundry facilities and the magnificent sitting room, which leads to a contemporary kitchen on the south-east side of the house. The principal bedroom is situated on a mezzanine floor overlooking the reception space and incorporates a fabulous ‘open’ bathroom with freestanding bath as well as en suite shower room.
On the first floor there is an impressive master suite which includes a dressing room and a very well-appointed bathroom. The second bedroom is on the ground floor and opposite the shower room/cloakroom. Outside there are terraced gardens and from the sitting out terraces there are lovely views across the surrounding countryside. Access to the property is via a driveway owned by the National Trust and there is private, gravelled parking to the front of the property
Outside
The property is set in an elevated position behind a beech hedge and is accessed via a driveway leading up to a private gravelled area to the front of the house.

There is a shed to the rear which houses the boiler.
