A striking Grade II Listed former chapel, The Old Chapel has been sensitively converted to provide generous, versatile living across nearly 2,900 sq ft. Vaulted ceilings, Gothic stone-arch windows, original encaustic tiling and a dramatic 30ft living room create spectacular principal spaces ideal for family life and entertaining. The current owners have completed a comprehensive refurbishment, including bespoke fitted furniture, solid oak floors and underfloor heating to main living areas.
Accommodation is flexible: five bedrooms (one ground-floor reception that can be used as a bedroom), three bathrooms and a large 26ft kitchen/dining room with oak units and granite surfaces. The principal bedroom occupies the former choir loft and benefits from an open-plan ensuite and elevated views over the chapel below. Practical features include a utility, a downstairs shower room, upgraded oil boiler and off-street parking for two to three cars with rear level access.
Outside, the property sits in the heart of Othery with a private, enclosed walled garden and a modest forecourt. The village offers good primary schooling, local amenities and reasonable commuting links to Langport, Bridgwater and the M5. Important points to note: the building’s Listed status will limit alterations and may complicate future works; heating is oil-fired; Council Tax is Band F; and broadband and mobile signal are average. For buyers who value historic character combined with contemporary convenience, this is a rare and memorable home.
