An exceptionally large, Grade II*-listed former chapel rebuilt as a single-bedroom home, Marshfield Chapel offers dramatic double-height living, generous 2,026 sq ft proportions and a sensitively executed modern interior. The recent renovation preserves historic Gothic Revival features — arched high windows, timber galleries, original panelling and exposed oak — while introducing a bespoke Devol kitchen, oak joinery and a striking spiral staircase to the bedroom mezzanine. The result is a rare balance of heritage character and contemporary comfort just 20 minutes from Bath.
Outside, the walled cottage garden is thoughtfully landscaped with raised beds, fruit trees and sunny seating areas that capture southerly light. The plot is a decent size for the village setting and includes a separately listed 19th‑century chest tomb. The property sits tucked back on a no-through lane adjacent to Marshfield’s high street, giving village convenience with immediate access to countryside walks and strong schooling options nearby.
Key practical points are clear and factual: the house is Grade II* listed, which preserves its special character but creates constraints for future alterations and may complicate maintenance or permissions. Council tax is above average (Band E), and the accommodation is arranged as an unconventional one‑bedroom plan — well suited to a couple or single buyer who values exceptional space, historic fabric and low local crime, but less suitable for a conventional family needing multiple bedrooms.
This home will appeal to buyers seeking a unique, characterful residence with high-quality finishes and a tranquil rural‑fringe location. It is ideal for someone who appreciates heritage detail, gardens and proximity to Bath, and who is comfortable with listed‑building ownership responsibilities and the practicalities of a one‑bedroom layout.
