Summary - THE CHAPTER HOUSE ELY ROAD CHITTERING CAMBRIDGE CB25 9PH
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Five-bedroom period home with extensive gardens and easy Cambridge access.
Chain free five-bedroom converted chapel with extensive character features
A rare, characterful former chapel dating from 1858, offered chain free and arranged over generous, versatile space ideal for families or professionals commuting to Cambridge. The property centres on a dramatic 27 x 18 ft drawing room, large reception hall with galleried landing, plus two further reception rooms and a conservatory — plenty of room for formal entertaining, home working or hobbies.
Set on a large plot with a gravel drive behind electronically operated gates and lawned gardens that overlook open countryside, the house suits buyers seeking rural privacy with straightforward access to Cambridge, Waterbeach station and nearby science and business parks. Triple glazing has been fitted to most windows, the roof replaced and a wood burner installed, all helping comfort and character.
Buyers should note practical running and improvement issues: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators (oil tank recently replaced), the walls are original solid brick with assumed limited cavity insulation, and the EPC is band E. Council tax is high. One bedroom still has older glazing and some upper rooms have restricted headroom into the eaves.
Overall this is a substantial, well-presented period conversion that balances distinctive Victorian features with modern interventions. It will particularly reward purchasers who value space, countryside views and proximity to Cambridge but are prepared for the higher running costs and possible further insulation or energy-efficiency upgrades.
