Chapel Lane, Billingley, S72

Originally built in 1818 as a Methodist Chapel and Sunday School, this remarkable detached home has undergone a sensitive and imaginative transformation over the last decade. The result is a unique property that beautifully blends historic character with stylish, contemporary living. Original stone walls, reclaimed oak timbers, and bespoke joinery—infusing the home with charm, warmth, and authenticity.

Set within generous, thoughtfully landscaped gardens, the property offers an exceptional outdoor lifestyle. Features include a superb children’s adventure play area, elevated walkways, Wendy houses, a large gravelled firepit zone, and an impressive garden cabin with adjoining deck and patio—perfect for entertaining or family gatherings.
