The Old Chapel is a detached, stone-built former chapel offering spacious, characterful accommodation across multiple levels. The main house has three bedrooms and generous living space with exposed beams and a wood stove; a self-contained one-bedroom flat above provides rental income or flexible family use. The property is offered with no onward chain.
The house requires modernisation throughout, giving a buyer the chance to refurbish and personalise. Heating is oil-fired with the flat on night storage and electric convectors; upgrading heating and services would improve efficiency and comfort. The large integrated garage and lean-to present conversion potential, subject to practicality and necessary consents.
Outside, extensive, well-established gardens include a formal lawn, sun terrace, mature trees, former orchard and walled boundaries, plus long driveway and off-street parking for numerous vehicles. Broadband speeds vary by provider and mobile signal is average locally. Council Tax: main house Band E; flat Band A.
This property will suit buyers seeking a period home with substantial outdoor space and project potential — families wanting flexible living, or investors looking for an annexe income stream. Important considerations are the renovation costs, oil fuel reliance, and any planning constraints if converting garage or annexe space.
