New Road, Chatteris, Cambs., PE16 6BJ

Don't miss this stunning and truly unique four-bedroom converted chapel. Originally built in 1903 and thoughtfully converted in 2020, this remarkable home seamlessly blends historic character with contemporary living.

More recently, the property has undergone further improvements including an upgraded underfloor heating system and further decorative enhancements. These works benefit from warranty, offering additional reassurance and peace of mind to prospective purchasers. An additional double bedroom has also been designed.

The accommodation begins with the original chapel doors opening from the main road into a porch, leading into an impressive 50ft lounge diner. This breathtaking space showcases hardwood flooring and original exposed beams spanning the full length of the property, creating a striking yet welcoming atmosphere.

The refitted kitchen is finished with navy blue shaker-style units in a matte finish, complemented by white quartz work surfaces. A matching breakfast bar houses the integrated dishwasher, a washing machine, and the space is further enhanced by a Rangemaster oven featuring two ovens, grill, warming drawer and seven gas rings. A standout decorative feature is the original chapel clockface, beautifully retrofitted with backlighting.

There are three spacious double bedrooms on the ground floor, both benefitting from the original chapel doors and windows which flood the rooms with natural light. There remains further potential, subject to planning permission, to create an additional room behind the clockface above the kitchen.

A stunning four-piece family bathroom is accessed from the lobby, finished with sand-coloured tiling and a sage green feature wall. This elegant space includes twin basins, an open rainfall shower with spotlight feature, and a freestanding clawfoot bathtub.

Completing the ground floor is a substantial 20ft x 15ft (approx.) snug to the rear of the chapel, featuring a fireplace with log burner that creates a warm and inviting setting. A rear porch serves as the main day-to-day entrance.

Upstairs, the mezzanine level hosts a double bedroom complete with en suite shower room and walk-in wardrobe.

What truly sets this home apart is the wonderfully enclosed feel within its grounds - offering a rare sense of privacy and retreat while remaining well positioned within the town. The generous proportions throughout provide exceptional versatility, allowing future owners to adapt and refresh the layout as tastes and needs evolve, particularly for growing families.

The expansive main living area offers remarkable flexibility. It can effortlessly transform into a hall-style space ideal for parties and celebrations, big or small, dancing, entertaining, or even creating an impressive cinema-style experience - something the current owners have thoroughly enjoyed. They remark that if they could take this extraordinary home with them to their new location, they absolutely would.

The property has been rennovated with careful respect for its heritage, retaining original stained glass windows throughout.

Externally, the rear of the property offers gated off-road parking for multiple vehicles, a generous storage shed, and an EV charging point. The south-facing garden enjoys a patio area, pond, and additional space beyond, making it perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
