This striking former chapel has been sensitively reimagined into a spacious four-bedroom family home extending to over 3,000 sq ft. The interior balances historic character—exposed brick, original beams and a dramatic spiral staircase—with practical updates such as renewed roof, insulated walls and an oil boiler fitted in 2012. A large reception with dual wood burners and a book-lined study create flexible living and working zones suited to modern family life.
The heart of the house is a light-filled shaker kitchen and an impressive family room that rises to a mezzanine gallery, offering imaginative space for play, hobbies or storage. Outside, a south-facing, well-screened garden with natural stone patio, mature fruit trees and no Tree Preservation Orders provides private outdoor living. A substantial powered outbuilding and detached double garage add versatile space for a workshop, studio or storage, with generous off-road parking.
Buyers should note material practicalities: heating is oil-fired, broadband speeds are reported slow, and the property has a medium flood risk. The house was largely renovated and insulated, but the electrics were rewired around 25 years ago and there is only one main bathroom for four bedrooms. Council tax is above average and the local area scores as more deprived than surrounding locations.
Positioned within walking distance of Gayton village amenities and a good primary school, the house suits families seeking sizeable, characterful accommodation in a well-connected West Norfolk village. It will particularly appeal to buyers looking for a distinctive home with workshop potential and substantial private grounds, while those needing fast internet, multiple bathrooms or mains gas should factor additional costs or alterations into their plans.
