Battens Chapel Cottage is a wonderfully presented converted chapel in nearly three-quarters of an acre, high on the Lambourn Downs.
Originally a missionary hall, the building was converted to a chapel in 1895 when the chancel was added. The current owners have updated, extended and significantly improved the property, including adding a substantial traditional oak-framed barn with a storeroom above.
The property has a long, private, gated driveway, leading to a generous courtyard area to the front and side of the barn. The barn would make an ideal annexe or home office (STNC) – an easy conversion with all utilities already connected.
The cottage is charming and cosy, retaining a wealth of character and personality. At the front of the property is the original reception hall giving onto a warm and spacious living room with its vaulted ceiling, gothic arch and gorgeous stained-glass windows to the rear. The Clearview wood burner stove set in a bespoke Bath stone fireplace is perfect for chilly winter evenings.
The kitchen/breakfast room has farmhouse style units and a Rayburn cooker, French doors opening to the front garden and natural slate stone floors with underfloor heating. The rear lobby/utility room leads to a shower room and has a barn door to the rear garden.
Bedrooms two and three are on the ground floor and accessed through the entrance hall.
A wrought iron spiral staircase leads from the living room to the gallery/mezzanine which is very light and airy. This space lends itself to being a study/additional sitting room or even an additional bedroom as has been the case in the past. The master bedroom and the bathroom complete the accommodation.
Outside, beautifully tended, well-stocked gardens surround the property with mature trees and hedging providing a sense of solitude and privacy. Adjacent to the cottage is a large, decked seating area with ambient lighting perfect for entertaining. A large shed, screened by planting is tucked away in the corner of the garden.
The paddock is enclosed by post and rail fencing and backs onto open farmland. In spring, bluebells grow beneath the trees and wild orchids thrive in uncut grass in early summer.
