2 bedroom detached house for sale

Set within the desirable village of Kings Cliffe, this converted Wesleyan Chapel originally dates back to 1823 and boasts a wealth of period features throughout. The property was originally converted for residential use over 30 years ago and now provides comfortable and spacious living in this unique home.

Kings Cliffe is a very sought-after village that is located just 7 miles from Stamford, 8 miles from Oundle and 12 miles from Peterborough. There is a vibrant village life, with activities for all ages. There is a shop, a greengrocer, a village pub, a servicemen’s club, and a leisure centre that includes a gym, tennis courts, pitches and an outdoor play area.

The accommodation comprises two adjoining chapels, the older original Chapel that later became the local school, alongside a more recent Chapel, built in 1909, which now provides the main living space. Step through the older front door into the kitchen/dining room, benefitting from exposed stone walls and beams. The dining room includes one of the original pews. The kitchen area has traditional-style units with solid-wood worktops and a Butler sink. There is a separate utility room with side access out to the private courtyard garden.

Step through a set of original triple doors into the most incredible living room, where you will be greeted with traditional stained-glass windows on all four sides, high vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and original wooden flooring. The room also boasts the original minister's pulpit and cast iron radiators have been fitted alongside a new contemporary gas fire to retain the character and provide ample heating. There is an additional front entrance with separate porch currently used as a storage room by the owners, however this could be reinstated as the main access. Off from the living room is an additional hallway, with a door out to the garden, originally the minister's entrance, which retains the original cast-iron fireplace and benefits from a guest cloakroom.

The first floor is accessed via a spiral staircase and takes you onto the mezzanine balcony area, which allows for a full view of the Chapel's interior. The current owners have utilised this space as two home offices, however this could also be used as additional living space or make a great guest area. An archway leads to a hallway giving access to two bedrooms and the main bathroom. Both double bedrooms and the bathroom benefit from exposed stone walls and original beams. The well-appointed family bathroom boasts a roll-top bath and separate shower.

Outside the property there is off road parking for at least three vehicles. There is gated side access to the rear. You will find a private courtyard garden to the rear of this property.
