Set within the peaceful village of Great Bircham, The Old Chapel is an impressive Victorian conversion offering exceptionally large, flexible living spaces across multiple levels. The former chapel’s vaulted ceiling, stained-glass window and mezzanine office create dramatic principal reception space, while the former schoolhouse provides a separate suite with its own kitchen, games room and sitting room — ideal for family life or multigenerational living.
Outside, a generous, fully enclosed garden with patio, built-in barbecue and mature trees provides private outdoor space for children and pets. Practical features include an electric gated gravel drive with space for several cars, a double garage with workshop, solar panels with battery storage and useful outbuildings. The south- and west-facing aspects capture good light across living areas and garden.
Buyers should note a number of important practical points: heating is oil-fired to radiators, drainage is private via a septic tank, and the Energy Performance Certificate is rated E. There is a covenant preventing the garage from being sold or developed separately, and the property sits in a rural area with average mobile and broadband speeds. Council tax sits in Band F and the wider area shows pockets of deprivation.
This is a characterful, substantial home for families or buyers seeking a flexible countryside property with entertaining potential and separate living zones. The building’s period features and unusual layout offer strong appeal, but purchasers should allow for ongoing running costs and confirm any required permissions for alterations.
