Description
Description
An exceptional opportunity to transform a former Methodist Church into a unique residential dwelling. Located in the charming village of Timsbury, this period chapel, originally built in 1805, has the benefit of planning permission granted by BANES Council under reference 26/00336/FUL in August 2026 permitting its conversion into a stunning four-bedroom home with 226 sqm/2432 sqft of accommodation. The design thoughtfully incorporates the chapel's heritage while introducing modern, expansive living.
The design has been meticulously planned to create dynamic living areas. The existing public entrance at the west end will become a welcoming entrance hall, complete with a staircase, WC and a utility room discreetly placed at the rear, accessible from the kitchen. The central bay will feature an impressive two-storey atrium above the dining area, seamlessly flowing into an open-plan kitchen designed to overlook a newly created rear garden and patio by way of demolishing the mid 20th Century rear hall. To the east, a large living room will offer folding-sliding glazed doors opening onto the garden, complemented by a separate study or home office.
On the first floor, a landing with a full-height glazed screen will overlook the striking atrium below. This level will house a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, two additional double bedrooms (one with its own en-suite bathroom), a single bedroom, and a family bathroom. The conversion cleverly utilises existing windows throughout, preserving the architectural integrity of the original chapel.
Further enhancements include the excavation of the existing ground floor to install a new, thermally insulated floor with underfloor heating, ensuring modern comfort. While on-site vehicular parking is not feasible due to space constraints, ample on-street parking is readily available adjacent to the property. A bus stop with regular services is conveniently located within 150 metres, and secure, roofed storage for four bicycles will be provided in the north-west corner of the garden area.
