Set within a peaceful Cotswold valley, The Old Church is a striking converted Victorian chapel offering dramatic volumes and contemporary living. The open-plan ground floor, island kitchen and raised seating area create a sociable heart while a mezzanine study and snug add flexible work and relaxation space. High arched windows, original stonework and a former altar screen provide authentic character that complements the modern fittings.
The principal bedroom occupies the first floor with a glazed wall overlooking the living room and an en suite with freestanding bath — a visually impressive suite suited to someone seeking character with comfort. Two further bedrooms and a family bathroom on the ground floor make the layout accessible and practical for everyday family life or a lock-up-and-leave countryside home.
Outside, private lawns, mature trees and a timber entertaining deck give a sheltered garden setting; note a few historic headstones remain in the grounds and descendants retain visitation rights. The property benefits from mains water and drains, fast broadband and very low local crime, but heating is electric and council tax is described as quite expensive — factors to budget for in long-term running costs.
This is a newly renovated, freehold detached building on a small plot in a sought-after hamlet near Painswick and Stroud. It suits buyers who value provenance and light-filled, unusual spaces and who understand some quirks of a converted chapel (listed features, headstones, solid walls with internal insulation). The 999‑year lease on surrounding land carries no ground rent; the path and Old Church are owned freehold.
