A distinctive former chapel set in the heart of Winterborne Stickland, this three-bedroom detached house combines striking Gothic character with generous, flexible living space. High ceilings, ornate stained glass and exposed beams give the home strong period charm, while the top-floor sitting/dining room and elevated rear garden capture pleasant countryside outlooks and good daylight throughout. The property is offered with no forward chain.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors: bedrooms and two bathrooms on the ground floor, a bright kitchen/breakfast room on the first floor with direct access to the garden via a wooden bridge, and a large, characterful sitting/dining room on the top floor with rosette stonework window views. A detached double garage with power and light and parking for multiple vehicles adds useful storage and off-street parking.
Practical considerations include oil-fired central heating, private septic drainage and cavity walls that are assumed to be uninsulated. The kitchen’s range-style cooker is present but its working condition is uncertain. Council Tax is noted as expensive and the EPC is tbc. There is reported medium flood risk data alongside a separate note of no recorded flood risk; buyers should verify local flood information and survey property services and insulation before purchase.
This home will suit buyers seeking a characterful village property with a large private garden and scope to update. The generous plot and layout offer refurbishment potential to improve energy efficiency and modernise kitchen and bathrooms while retaining the building’s unique historic features.
