Description

The Chapel was built in 1484 housing a relic of Saint Andrew, visited by pilgrims and used as an entry point to Boxley Abbey, founded in 1146 and located a quarter of a mile away. In the intervening years the Chapel was in private hands, including those of Henry VIII and Sir Thomas Wyatt, and subsequently converted to a private dwelling in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Latterly purchased by the Earl of Aylesford in 1814 and subsequently let to a local farmer. In the 20th century the Chapel was used as the local shop and post office, until 1970, at which point the property fell into disrepair and has been uninhabited for the last 55 years. Owing to the historic significance of the Chapel (Grade II* Listed) the property came to the attention of The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) who purchased the property in 2018. SPAB specialise in these historic architectural projects. The repairs have been a long and arduous task, with particular attention to conserving the fabric of the building for posterity. The original features and building craft techniques applied have created the sympathetic dwelling we find today. Bringing the Chapel into 21st century habitation has been a real challenge with efficiency and insulation in mind and what a result we find today. Viewing is essential.

Agents note: St. Andrews Chapel was Listed as Grade II* in 1952. Grade II* Listed buildings are defined as 'particularly important buildings of more than special interest' only 5.8% of Listed buildings in the UK have obtained this Listing.

The property has an air circulation system which works in conjunction with the air sourced heat pump driving period style pillared radiators, which proliferate the interior creating ongoing background heating.
