The former Methodist chapel on Well Lane in Galleywood has been beautifully converted and is now available to rent as a stunning open-plan, mezzanine style one bedroom home. Offering a vast and thoughtfully designed living space, this unique property combines historic character with modern living. Retaining features such as high ceilings and large windows, the home is filled with natural light and architectural charm. Tastefully finished throughout, this exceptional rental property is truly a must-see from the inside. The property further benefits from a stunning four-piece bathroom suite and a fully fitted kitchen complete with appliances, including a dishwasher. A bespoke, centrally positioned dining seating area with built-in storage creates a stylish and functional focal point within the living space. Accessed via a bespoke staircase, the galleried mezzanine bedroom overlooks the living area, creating a bright and airy space enhanced by the property's unique roofline. Externally, there is parking available for two vehicles along with a courtyard style outdoor area, perfect for al-fresco dining.

Originally built as part of the Methodist movement inspired by John Wesley, the chapel once served as a focal point for the local community. Today, it offers a rare opportunity to live in a piece of history, reimagined for contemporary living.

The area also boasts a unique local touch with Galleywood Estate Vineyard, which spans 20 acres and produces a variety of grapes. The area also benefits from nearby Lathcoats Farm, a long-established, family-run farm dating back to 1912, now in its fourth generation. It offers a popular farm shop, café, and an impressive selection of over 40 apple varieties, alongside seasonal “pick your own” experiences including strawberries and Christmas trees, with a convenient booking system in place. For commuters, there is convenient access to the A12 and M25 (J28), with direct routes to Colchester and central London.
