Description

Some houses are found on every street; this is not one of them. Number 1 Hope Chapel Rise is a former Methodist chapel dating back to 1874, thoughtfully converted into a home of real architectural character, set along Battle Lane - a short stroll from the heart of Chew Magna village.

The accommodation is arranged in reverse, and to memorable effect. The ground floor is given to three double bedrooms, each with the deep windowsills the chapel's thick walls allow, arranged around an octagonal entrance hall from which a steel-framed spiral staircase rises through a galleried lightwell. The principal bedroom enjoys a wet-room style en suite finished in Italian grey tile with underfloor heating and a rainfall shower, while the family bathroom continues the standard with contemporary blue tiling, a freestanding double shower and underfloor heating of its own. Double doors from the hall open to the enclosed courtyard.

Upstairs is the moment the property reveals itself. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living room measures a remarkable 36ft by 22ft, lit by seven double arched windows on two elevations, with high ceilings, exposed beams and an outlook over the greenery of the village. The kitchen is entirely bespoke, its curved white cabinetry fitted with De Dietrich appliances including an induction hob and wok burner, with a separate utility room and cloakroom keeping the practicalities discreetly out of sight. It is a space that works as easily for a quiet morning coffee in the sun as it does for entertaining twenty.

Outside, a sun terrace to the front is enclosed with a glass and metal balustrade - an atmospheric spot for supper on a summer evening enjoying a sunset - while a gated side courtyard offers a more private, low-maintenance garden. Private allocated parking sits to the front.

Chew Magna needs little introduction: a village of pubs, independent shops, a supermarket, post office and highly regarded schooling and Chew Valley Lake close by for walks, sailing and fishing. Bristol lies eight miles north, Bath a half-hour east, and Bristol Airport around fifteen minutes away - country life, with the city within easy reach. The property would also lend itself well to use as a distinctive holiday let.
