The Street, Wissett, Halesworth, Suffolk, IP19

A character-filled residence with garden, parking, and flexible living space – a perfect escape on the Heritage Coast. Nestled within the tranquil hamlet of Wissett, just a short drive from the Suffolk coast, this exceptional converted Chapel offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home rich in character and versatility.

Thoughtfully reimagined in the 1980’s to create a striking and highly individual residence, this charming home combines the soaring proportions of its ecclesiastical past with the warmth and comfort of a private dwelling while offering scope for modernisation and improvement.

The property is approached via a private layby providing off-street parking, with steps leading up through a beautifully tended ornamental garden. The garden itself is a delightful mix of raised terraces, deep planted borders, a mature grapevine-draped entrance, and a charming summer house – an idyllic space for al fresco dining or peaceful relaxation.

The main entrance opens into the principal reception room – a dramatic and welcoming space, anchored by a large inglenook fireplace with inset wood burner and complemented by natural light from windows on three sides. The proportions are generous and the atmosphere both cosy and uplifting. To the rear, a flexible room offers options as a study, ground floor bedroom or snug, and includes understairs storage. Adjacent is a well-appointed shower room with enclosed cistern WC, pedestal basin and plumbing for a washing machine, adding convenience to this already versatile home. The kitchen is full of rustic charm, fitted with antique pine cabinetry and worktops to match. A ceramic hob, electric oven, range-style cooker and space for fridge/freezer make it well equipped for both holiday letting and permanent residence. A side door leads outside.

Upstairs, a tall lancet window casts soft light onto the landing, where a further arched opening leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms – all with individual charm, exposed beams, VELUX rooflights, and built-in storage. The family bathroom is a showstopper: a freestanding clawfoot roll-top bath, large shower enclosure, twin pedestal sinks and WC complete the indulgent space.

This unique home is offered with vacant possession and presents a superb opportunity for those seeking a distinctive primary residence, a character-rich second home or an income-generating holiday let, as it has previously been successfully run.
