Chapel House

PERIOD DETAILS .
Idyllically set in mature leafy grounds, pull through the gated entrance and onto the gravel driveway of Chapel House, a handsome stone-built former Wesleyan Chapel.

Make your way through the picket gate and follow the path through the garden to the solid front door. Step into the porch, a remarkable entrance with a pair of slit stone windows, providing instant shelter and guaranteeing you a warm welcome home. 

STEP INSIDE .
Turning right, feast your eyes on the dual aspect farmhouse style kitchen diner. With beams overhead and exposed stonework walls, the seated inglenook set beneath a sturdy beam is a unique and attractive feature. Wooden, country-style cabinetry offers ample storage flanking the Rangemaster oven, and there is plenty of space to add a large dining table. A welcoming room, friends and family will naturally gather here at the start and end of each day. A handy stable door opens to the side and onto the driveway.

The first reception room is currently used to host larger family get-togethers and could also make an inviting family snug. Original beams stretch out above, with exposed stone to the wall adding a characterful feel. Explore further, step up to the rear and turn left to discover guest bedroom, the double bed is nestled beneath the beam-bedecked lower ceiling to one side, with ample space for a desk area to the front, with views out to the garden.

Next, is the enchanting and truly unique bathroom with rolltop bath, separate shower cubicle, lavatory, basin, and stunning arched stonework feature wall - ably demonstrating the lofty ceiling. 

ELEVATED LIVING .
From the dining hall, ascend the timber open-tread stairs to the first floor. Step through to the awe-inspiring sitting room, where light streams in through the run of arched windows in the exposed stone walls drawing your eyes upwards to the circular stained glass feature window. A medley of exposed beams in the vaulted ceiling and a handsome fireplace with log-burning stove create the most inviting ambience.

The charm and character of the home continue onto the landing with hints of beams and a quaint stone corbel. From here, the second bedroom with views through two large windows out over the garden and countryside creates a lovely children's room. 

SWEET SLUMBER .
Time now to discover the principal suite. With a lofty vaulted ceiling featuring rooflight windows, two further shuttered windows overlook the lane and offer a light and airy feel. Exposed beams to the wall and ceiling add further appeal. Stairs tempt you onwards and up to a balconied dressing area, with fitted wardrobes, and through to an en suite shower room. 

THE GOOD LIFE .
Outside, a large courtyard to the rear is ideal for dining, whilst you can entertain with ease in the cinema room and home office. At the rear of the building, there is also a utility room and further storage.

French doors from the cinema room tempt you out onto the large lawn which sits on around a third of an acre, with rolling countryside beyond. Harvest fruit from the apple and plum trees and feast on homemade jams, jellies, and pies in the autumn months.

There is ample space for parking on the spacious driveway, alongside a detached timber garage with carport and a separate workshop.
