An exceptional, turnkey commercial–residential complex in the Lincolnshire Wolds, Chapel Studios and The Old Post Office combine an internationally renowned recording chapel, a linked seven‑bed cottage and a high‑spec four‑bed detached house with producer’s mix room. The buildings have been carefully restored and modernised to a high standard, offering immediate use as a working studio, guest house or high‑end private home with substantial creative space and large gardens.
The ensemble totals eleven bedrooms across separate freehold titles, allowing flexible ownership: buy as a combined lifestyle business or purchase units separately. The main chapel features a sound‑treated control room, iso room and large chapel studio with triple‑glazed windows; The Old Post Office provides contemporary open‑plan living, a mezzanine creative gallery and retained mix/recording tie‑lines. The site sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with gated gravel drive, ample parking and attractive landscaping.
Important practical points are stated plainly: heating is oil‑fired via boiler and radiators; the buildings are originally solid brick (no assumed cavity insulation) despite extensive internal refurbishments. While Starlink service is listed, local fixed‑line broadband is very slow and the location is a remote hamlet — excellent for privacy and creative retreat but less convenient for commuters. The properties have been newly renovated and are offered chain free, but combining or altering the freehold units may require consents.
This is a niche opportunity for music professionals, investors or buyers seeking a rare live/work estate with proven recording pedigree. It suits those who value provenance and turnkey studio capability and who are comfortable with rural living, oil heating and the practicalities of older solid‑wall buildings.
