Description

A superb and unique opportunity to acquire a Grade II Listed former chapel and school house, offering a rare combination of character, versatility and exciting development potential. The former School House has been thoughtfully converted and completed to a high standard, creating a beautifully presented two-bedroom annexe, while the adjoining former chapel remains ready for conversion.
Plans have been drawn up by a local architect for the chapel to be transformed into an impressive five-bedroom detached home, creating a substantial main residence alongside the completed two-bedroom annexe. The proposed accommodation offers an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to complete the conversion to their own specification, subject to the relevant planning and Listed Building consents.
The School House provides an excellent standard of finished accommodation, whilst the chapel presents an exciting project with the potential to create a truly exceptional and individual home. The property also benefits from parking and, once completed, would offer a highly versatile arrangement suitable for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or potential holiday/letting use.

A truly distinctive property combining historic charm with significant potential, and an opportunity not to be missed.

The impressive former chapel space retains a wealth of original character and period features, including the beautiful tiled flooring, original pews, full-height windows and panelled ceilings. The space is further enhanced by striking stained-glass windows and the original pulpit, which is a particularly notable feature and is to remain within the property. Together, these historic details provide a wonderful foundation for the proposed conversion, offering the opportunity to create a truly exceptional and individual home whilst preserving the character and heritage of this remarkable building.

The School Room

The School Room has been thoughtfully transformed by the current vendors to create a beautifully presented and characterful home, combining the charm of the original building with modern comforts. The original School Room door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, with useful space for coats and shoes. An internal door leads into the impressive living room, where the full-height ceilings and dual-aspect windows create a wonderful sense of space and allow natural light to flood the room. A cosy fireplace with inset wood-burning stove provides an attractive focal point and adds to the warm and inviting atmosphere. Useful built-in cupboard space provides additional storage, while an open doorway leads through to the kitchen. The kitchen has been fitted with a range of wall and base units with worktops over, incorporating an integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher.
