Hall Street, Chelmsford, CM2

Plot 1, The Chapel

Guide Price £500,000.

A breathtaking home carved from the grandeur of a Victorian chapel — where soaring stained glass, dramatic volumes and contemporary design combine to create something truly extraordinary.

Plot 1 forms part of The Chapel on Hall Street, an exceptional and highly individual conversion of the historic Hall Street Methodist Church, originally constructed in 1863. This landmark building has been meticulously reimagined to create a limited collection of architecturally stunning homes, celebrating the building’s heritage while delivering sophisticated modern living.

From the moment you enter, the impact is immediate.

A Living Space That Stops You in Your Tracks

The centrepiece of this remarkable home is the magnificent open-plan kitchen, living and dining space, an awe-inspiring room.

Here, three towering stained-glass windows dominate the space, rising dramatically through the double-height living area and casting ever-changing colours of natural light across the room. Framed by exposed historic brickwork and the original Gothic arches of the chapel, the effect is nothing short of spectacular.

It is a room that feels both grand and atmospheric, yet effortlessly comfortable — equally suited to quiet evenings at home or unforgettable gatherings with friends and family.

A striking bespoke staircase with oak hand rail and decorative balustrade rises through the space like a sculptural feature, reinforcing the architectural drama and drawing the eye upward through the impressive volume of the room.

Quite simply, it is a living space unlike anything else currently available in Chelmsford.

Contemporary Design, Beautifully Executed

The sleek Nobilia kitchen sits perfectly within this dramatic setting, offering contemporary design with precision German craftsmanship.

Fitted with Bosch integrated appliances, soft-close cabinetry and modern work surfaces, it provides both style and functionality. Beneath your feet, large-format limestone effect porcelain flooring runs throughout the ground floor, adding texture and refinement to the space.

A cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

Private and Elegant Bedroom Suites

Upstairs, the sense of thoughtful design continues with two generous double bedrooms, each benefitting from their own beautifully appointed en-suite shower rooms.

The principal suite enjoys the additional luxury of a dedicated dressing area, creating a boutique hotel-style arrangement that enhances both practicality and privacy.

Both bathrooms feature modern sanitaryware and porcelain tiling, delivering a clean, contemporary finish.
