Tucked away off Preston Road, Old Chapel House is a spacious five-bedroom barn conversion arranged over generous rooms and set within about a third of an acre. The home combines traditional stone character and exposed beams with modern finishes: five bathrooms, three reception rooms, a large fitted kitchen with Aga and island, and multiple wood-burners that create versatile family living spaces. Natural light floods through large windows, French/bi-fold doors and a substantial Velux skylight.
The plot provides private, well-kept gardens, stone-flagged patios and a long lawn with field views — excellent for children and outdoor entertaining. Practical features include a detached garage, gated stoned driveway with ample parking, an adjoining utility room and mains gas central heating. There is no recorded flood risk and the property was built/converted in the 2007–2011 period and newly renovated to a high standard.
Important practical points: the house sits in a remoter hamlet location, so daily commuting and local services are limited; broadband is average despite excellent mobile signal. Council tax is high — buyers should budget for higher ongoing charges. As with any property of this age and size, independent checks on services and finishes are recommended before committing.
For families seeking a large, characterful home with contemporary comfort and private grounds in a quiet rural setting, this barn delivers both living space and outdoor room to grow. The layout and condition also suit multi-generational households or home-working parents wanting separate reception spaces and a dedicated office area.
