Dating from the mid-19th century, new life was breathed into this striking former Methodist Chapel - originally known as Ebenezer Chapel - when it was sympathetically reimagined into two homes in the early years of the 21st century. Situated in the heart of the Conservation Area, the property is just a short walk from the town centre and close to the expansive beauty of Tring Park, while sitting directly opposite St. Martha’s Church, giving rise to an ecclesiastical view that anchors the house within its historic setting.

Steeped in history, the chapel preserves the character and elegance of its Victorian heyday. Its final wedding is said to have taken place in the 1950s.

The house today is a considered blend of heritage and contemporary design. A small entrance hall leads into a stunning sitting room, where honey-toned timber floors and a wood-burning stove create a warm, intimate atmosphere, framed by views of St. Martha’s Church across the street. To the rear, the impressive kitchen and dining room extends over 24ft; a generously proportioned, light-filled space that celebrates modern living while respecting the building’s history. Partly vaulted ceilings, twin skylights and a wall of bifold doors ensure the room is bathed in natural light, connecting seamlessly to the garden. Crisp porcelain floors run underfoot, and the kitchen is fitted with sleek contemporary cabinetry, Corian worktops and a range cooker with a five-ring hob and electric hot plate. An adjoining utility room provides practical space with side access, complemented by a contemporary cloakroom also on the ground floor.

Upstairs, accommodation is arranged over two floors. On the first floor, a spacious landing leads to two bedrooms, one with fitted wardrobes, and a luxurious family bathroom which features a stylish, freestanding bath. The second floor is devoted entirely to the principal suite: an impressive 21ft bedroom, bathed in light from four skylights, with an adjoining modern shower room. This top-floor configuration creates a wonderfully private retreat, and combines scale and proportion with comfort.

Outside, the garden has been landscaped with a Mediterranean sensibility. Millboard decking flows to a generous porcelain-tiled area, complemented by a water feature and up-lit borders, creating a serene environment for alfresco dining and entertaining. Side access adds convenience, completing a property that marries historic character with contemporary elegance.

This is a home of considered contrast: the solidity and character of its 19th-century origins, softened and transformed by light, space and contemporary detailing. Vaulted ceilings, generous proportions and carefully chosen materials create rooms that feel both expansive and intimate. Beyond the interiors, the garden extends the sense of calm and privacy, providing a setting for summer evenings, entertaining, or quiet reflection, while the church opposite serves as a gentle reminder of the building’s historic and spiritual context. Here, heritage and modern comfort exist in perfect harmony, offering a living experience that is both historic and contemporary.
