Description
Once a 15th-century chapel and local orphanage, this remarkable property has been lovingly transformed into a spacious family home that marries centuries-old charm with modern, eco-conscious living.
As the seasons turn and the countryside takes on its autumn hues, this home feels particularly inviting. Step inside to discover four generous bedrooms, including a master suite with walk-in wardrobe and en suite, a stylish guest suite, and two further large doubles – each bathed in the soft, golden light of the season.
The original chapel, graced with magnificent stained glass windows that scatter jewel tones across the room, now serves as a truly unique library and reading room — the perfect spot to curl up with a book as the evenings draw in, complete with its own shower room and WC.
The expansive living areas are designed for both comfort and conviviality: a bright kitchen and welcoming dining area for hearty autumn feasts, a cosy living room with wood burner for crisp evenings, a charming piano room, a dedicated office, two utility rooms, and a convenient ground-floor WC.
Blending history with innovation, this character-filled home offers a wealth of eco-friendly features: thermodynamic hot water system, photovoltaic panels, gas central heating, a heat pump, and an air-to-air hot/cool system — ensuring comfort through every season.
Outside, the covered terrace invites year-round enjoyment, overlooking gardens that come alive with russet and gold, gently sloping down to the river’s edge. A small outbuilding and two garages/workshops complete the picture — all set within a tranquil hamlet close to local amenities.
A rare opportunity to own a piece of history, perfectly poised for autumn living and beyond.
