Wigmore, Leominster, Herefordshire

Chapel House stands in the heart of the village, a distinguished former Methodist chapel dating back to around 1865. Now a Grade II Listed home, it has been thoughtfully converted and further enhanced by the present owners, who have taken care to preserve its striking architectural character. The façade, with its arched windows and stone dressings, hints at the impressive interior where high ceilings, generous proportions and abundant natural light define the living spaces.

The entrance leads into a broad and welcoming dining hall, a superb central space set beneath a vaulted ceiling, with the staircase rising to the first floor. This room flows through to the sitting room, where the original chapel windows create a bright and atmospheric setting. A wood-burning stove brings warmth and focus, making the room ideal for family living and relaxed evenings.

The breakfast kitchen offers a modern contrast to the building’s heritage, fitted with a contemporary range of cabinetry and extensive work surfaces. It provides a sociable space with room for informal dining and is complemented by a separate utility room. A home office, cloakroom and useful storage areas complete the ground floor accommodation and add to the home’s flexibility.

Upstairs, the galleried landing overlooks the reception space below and gives access to three comfortable bedrooms, each enjoying views or skylights that accentuate the sense of light. The bathroom has been stylishly refitted, combining modern fittings with subtle period references to create a calm and practical environment.

Outside, the property benefits from an enclosed rear garden, offering level lawns, mature trees and planting, along with a greenhouse, sheds and a pergola seating area at the far end. To the front, a gated driveway provides secure and ample parking, with additional storage adjacent to the chapel.

The village of Wigmore offers a thriving rural community with a primary school, well-regarded secondary school, community store, mobile post office service, two pub-restaurants and an active village hall. Chapel House sits at its centre, blending historic charm with generous living space and the comforts required for modern life.
