Period character meets contemporary entertaining on 0.6-acre private grounds.
Five double bedrooms, including vaulted principal suite with mezzanine
Set within the Kent Downs AONB, The Chapel is a striking five-bedroom detached bungalow that blends period character with contemporary living. Originally a Wesleyan Mission Hall (1869), it has been comprehensively redesigned and newly renovated to provide generous, well-zoned accommodation, underfloor heating throughout and modern mechanical and smart controls. The principal living space opens onto a large porcelain terrace and heated pool, creating a seamless indoor–outdoor entertaining flow for families and guests.
The plot extends to approximately 0.601 acre with solid electric gates, a wide driveway, double garage and extensive outbuildings: a heated insulated bar/games room, a gym/office, summerhouse and ancillary sheds. The rear terrace features a stainless-steel outdoor kitchen with full power and porcelain worktops. Environmentally focused systems include solar panels, an air-source heat pump and hot-water integration for the pool; hot water and heating are primarily electric-based.
Internally the house is arranged for family life and media use: a well-equipped cinema room with blackout blinds, a German-fitted kitchen with walk-in larder, multiple double bedrooms (one currently a dressing room), and a vaulted principal suite with mezzanine, ensuite and dressing area. The property benefits from CCTV, hard-wired Wi‑Fi, intelligent lighting and app-controlled systems throughout, affording modern convenience and security.
Notable practical points: the property is newly renovated but sits in a secluded hamlet, so access to shops and major services requires a short drive. Broadband speeds are average; council tax is above average. One environmental detail—EV wiring—is noted with uncertainty and should be confirmed. All measurements, services and consents should be verified during purchase due diligence.
