The Property

Carter and May are delighted to offer for sale this rare opportunity to acquire a former Methodist Chapel with planning permission for conversion into a 2-bedroom residential dwelling, located in the desirable village of Damerham. The property is set centrally in the of the heart of village and would make a perfect full-time home in a peaceful village or, equally, those seeking a private or commercial holiday home. The property has planning permission for conversion into a 2-bedroom residential dwelling with a small enclosed rear garden, two nearby off road parking spaces (in Penny Black opposite).

Please note that Penny Black is also available for sale and could be bought alongside The Chapel.  This could ultimately provide a sizeable 5 bedroom house with a 1 bedroom self contained annexe that is situated on a half acre plot that leads down to the stream together with a separate 2 bedroom home suitable for a family member or to generate further income.  

The planning permission makes provision for a kitchen, dining room and living room with 2-double bedrooms and a galleried landing that capitalises upon the impressive ceiling height of the current structure. The drainage (treatment plant) for The Chapel will be required to be located to the front left hand corner of Penny Black opposite as per the approved planning permission. We understand from the current owner that they are willing to discuss this in greater detail by pre arranged appointment the finer details of the drainage layout and phospahate credits that could be available, with any interested party.
