Description

Nestled within the highly sought-after Lound village, near Retford, this exceptional 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom converted Gothic style church, dating back to 1859, presents a truly unique opportunity for discerning buyers. Originally designed by J G Weighman as a chapel of ease for 120 people, this property seamlessly blends historical charm with modern living, retaining many original features whilst providing comfortable and spacious accommodation. Offered with a guide price of £535,000, this home is a testament to architectural heritage.


Upon entering, you are greeted by an original wood Gothic entrance door leading into a generously appointed main reception hall, which sets the tone for the character found throughout. The ground floor also comprises convenient understairs storage and a cloakroom. The well-proportioned kitchen leads to a formal dining room, perfect for entertaining, and a spacious living room. The living room boasts an inviting open gas fed fire and patio doors that open to the garden, offering ample space for relaxation and family life. The layout has been thoughtfully designed to maximise both light and the unique architectural elements of the original building.


A second staircase leads to a versatile mezzanine studio or study, providing an ideal space for remote work or creative pursuits. Ascending to the main first floor, you will find the master bedroom, complete with its own en-suite shower room and walk in wardrobe, providing a private sanctuary. Three further well-proportioned bedrooms offer versatile accommodation options, ideal for families or guests. A contemporary family shower room serves these additional bedrooms, ensuring comfort and convenience for all residents. Exposed beams throughout the property add to its distinctive character and charm.


Externally, the property is a testament to its rich history, finished in attractive brickwork with elegant stone dressings. It proudly retains its original church Mullion windows, which flood the interiors with natural light and add to its distinctive appeal. The original bell remains a prominent feature, with the bell now housed at the Bellfoundry Museum. The original Celtic cross is still at the property, offering a tangible piece of its heritage. The attention to detail in preserving these historical elements while ensuring structural integrity is evident throughout.


Set within its own private gardens, the property benefits from beautifully landscaped and well-stocked country-style gardens. These gardens offer a delightful outdoor space, providing an element of privacy and a tranquil setting for outdoor enjoyment, gardening, or al fresco dining. The mature planting and thoughtful design create a picturesque backdrop to this unique home.


Access to the property is via a gated block-paved driveway, leading to a parking area with space for several cars, a significant advantage for any family. This ample parking then leads to a detached garage, providing secure storage or additional parking. The charming village of Lound is known for its community spirit, featuring the popular Bluebell pub, active village hall activities, and annual fireworks displays, making it a desirable location. The combination of generous internal space, historical charm, and practical external features makes this converted church a truly remarkable home. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the unique character and quality of this exceptional property.
