An exceptionally rare Victorian pair: a fully modernised seven-bedroom family cottage connected to a triple‑glazed, highly insulated chapel currently fitted out as a professional recording studio. The two freehold titles allow purchase together or separately, offering flexible live/work or purely residential conversion potential. The chapel’s control room and studio are sound‑proofed and have existing cabling and some high‑end kit available by negotiation.
The main house offers generous reception rooms including an open-plan living/dining area, sunny porch, bespoke oak kitchen, ground-floor bedroom and shower room, plus a utility and an acoustically sealed ‘iso’ room. Externally there is gated gravel parking front and rear, a newly reconfigured porcelain patio and lawned garden with remote-controlled lighting. The site totals about 3,133 sq ft across roughly 15 rooms and sits in the Lincolnshire Wolds AONB.
Practical strengths include recent comprehensive modernisation, triple glazing, very good thermal insulation in chapel spaces, off-street parking, and optional Starlink broadband (up to 250 Mbps). Constraints to note: the location is remote with limited local services, council-tax banding is moderate but to be confirmed, and the property’s unusual mixed commercial/residential status means any change of use or full residential conversion of the chapel may require consents. Broadband reliance on Starlink is recommended given local terrestrial speeds are poor.
This is ideal for a creative professional, music industry buyer, or family seeking a distinctive home with separate commercial capability. Buyers seeking turnkey, urban commuting convenience or very high local amenities should note the rural, hamlet setting and associated travel times to larger centres.
