This converted chapel offers a rare blend of historic character and practical living space. The upper-level open-plan reception benefits from vaulted ceilings, original stained glass and rooflights, creating an airy, memorable main living area suited to entertaining or flexible layouts. Two ground-floor double bedrooms and a stylish bathroom complete the accommodation, making efficient use of the building’s volume.
The conversion is well considered but not without compromises. Heating is provided by room heaters and a wood‑burning arrangement rather than a modern central system, and the stone walls are likely uninsulated. Services may need updating and the property uses private drainage, so budget for mechanical and utility modernisation when considering purchase.
Outdoor space is a low-maintenance enclosed courtyard, private and attractively planted but small — great for quiet outdoor seating, not for extensive gardening. Broadband is very slow here and mobile signal is excellent; this is important if you work from home. The property is freehold and sits in a quiet village location with reasonable access to Shepton Mallet and Castle Cary station for wider travel.
This house will suit someone seeking a distinctive, characterful home ready to enjoy while potentially investing in selective modernisation. It’s an appealing option for a buyer who values architectural interest and a compact, low‑maintenance plot over large gardens or high-spec modern services.
