Chapel Cottage, Main St, Greetham, LE15

What the owner told us…
“It has been a real honour to own what we feel is a little piece of history. The cottage is so cosy and full of character, and the chapel… It’s just something completely unique. Restoring it and bringing it back to life has been incredibly special. We’ve loved the community here too; it’s welcoming, friendly, and full of little moments that make living here feel easy.”

Our Thoughts…
This is one of those homes that you don’t fully appreciate until you’re standing in it.

At first, it’s the character that draws you in. The stone, the history, the feeling that this is somewhere with a story behind it. But the more time you spend here, the more you start to notice the detail.

Everything has been carefully considered. Not just the bigger renovations, but the smaller things as well. The way each room has been put together, the finishes, the feel of the spaces. Even down to the artwork on the walls and the pieces on display, it all works together. It’s beautifully presented, but more importantly, it feels right.

The cottage itself is warm, welcoming, and easy to live in. It has that cosy, settled feel that you hope for in a home like this, with character running throughout but without feeling like hard work. It’s somewhere you can move straight into and enjoy from day one.

Then you step into the chapel, and that’s where this property really starts to stand apart.

Originally dating back to the 1880s, it has been restored and reimagined into something that still respects its past but works perfectly for modern life. The main living space is open and full of light, with exposed brickwork, stained glass, and a layout that feels both flexible and inviting.

It’s the kind of space that adapts to you.

For some, it could be somewhere for teenagers or young adults to have their own independence while still being close to home. For others, it might be the perfect place for friends and family to stay when they visit.

There’s also the potential to use it as an income space, whether that’s a short term let or something more long term, subject to any necessary permissions. Equally, it could become a home office that feels completely separate from the main house, a studio, a gym, a yoga space, or simply somewhere to unwind. A bit of a den, somewhere you can switch off and do your own thing.

Upstairs, the vaulted ceiling in the bedroom gives the space a completely different feel. It’s open, light, and calm, with exposed beams adding to the character. It’s a room that feels both spacious and comfortable at the same time.

The bathroom has been finished in a way that reflects the rest of the chapel. Thoughtful, a little bit different, and clearly designed with care rather than just following a standard layout.

And then there’s the additional garden.

Set away from both the cottage and the chapel, it offers something quite special. A space that feels private and separate, almost like a little retreat of its own.

It’s been planted and arranged in a way that makes it enjoyable to spend time in, not just look at. There are different areas to sit, to relax, or just to take a bit of time out. It changes with the seasons, and there’s a natural flow to it as you move through.

The summerhouse sits perfectly within it and adds another option. It’s currently used as a quiet garden room, but it could just as easily be somewhere to work, create, or simply have a bit of space to yourself.

When you look at everything together, that’s when it really comes into its own.

You have a home that feels comfortable and established. A second building that gives you flexibility and opportunity. And a separate outdoor space that adds another dimension entirely.

It’s not just different for the sake of it. It’s different in a way that actually gives you more ways to live.

Location…
Greetham is one of those villages that people move to and then never really want to leave.

There’s a genuine sense of community here. It’s friendly, welcoming, and there’s always something going on, from local events to family days and classic car shows. It has that balance where you feel part of something, without it ever feeling busy or overwhelming.

Within the village itself, you’ve got local pubs and everyday amenities that make life easy, while the well regarded Exton & Greetham CE Primary School is just a short drive away in the neighbouring village of Exton, with a bus service available. Greetham Valley is also just a few minutes away, offering golf courses, a gym, and a restaurant, so there’s plenty to enjoy right on your doorstep.

Oakham is a short drive away for shops, cafés, and everything you need day to day, while Stamford offers something a bit more vibrant with its independent shops, restaurants, and beautiful Georgian streets.

Rutland Water is also within easy reach, giving you access to some of the best outdoor space in the area, whether that’s walking, cycling, or just getting some fresh air.

For commuting, the A1 is close by, connecting you to Peterborough, Leicester, and further afield, with train links nearby into London.

It’s a location that quietly offers everything you need, while still holding onto that village feel that makes it so appealing.
