Chapel Cottage is a distinctive three-bedroom former chapel set in Brockenhurst, within the New Forest National Park. The mid-18th century brick building retains Georgian character — arched windows, large sitting room with double-height ceiling and exposed brick fireplace — while providing a compact, practical family layout across multiple storeys. The property sits on an average-sized plot with a low-maintenance rear courtyard garden and off-street parking for two vehicles.
The house offers useful everyday conveniences: gas central heating, mains services, fast ultrafast broadband availability and security lighting. The layout includes a flexible ground-floor bedroom or home office, a generous principal bedroom overlooking the sitting room, and room for family life in the kitchen-dining-sitting circulation. The long lease (approx. 334 years remaining) and nil service charge/ground rent are practical ownership positives.
There are important constraints buyers must consider. The property is Grade II listed — any alterations will be restricted and could complicate refurbishment plans. Flood risk is rated medium for the area, and the house has only one bathroom, which may be limiting for some families. The building’s age and former chapel conversion mean maintenance or specialist repairs could be required; the particulars disclaim structural or service condition, so buyers should commission surveys.
This home suits buyers who value character, village convenience and proximity to open New Forest countryside over a turnkey modern finish. For families seeking a central Brockenhurst location with distinct period charm and long lease security, Chapel Cottage offers rare character and flexible living — provided you accept listed-building limitations and the modest practical drawbacks noted above.
