A highly unique stunning converted chapel in a sought after location only a few minutes walk from the Esplanade and wonderful beaches of Weymouth. EPC Band E.

The Property - Chapel 1 is a truly unique converted chapel offering stunning and well appointed spacious accommodation in a sought after location within only a few minutes walk from the Esplanade and lovely beaches of Weymouth.

The chapel was designed by the prestigious architectural firm Crickmay (a former employer of Thomas Hardy) and in 1895 the foundation stones were laid by the Lord Bishop of Sailsbury. In 1940 the college and chapel were requisitioned by the war department. After the war, it reopened as a Ladies Teacher Training College. The chapel was deconsecrated and around 20 years ago it was skilfully converted into just two highly individual private dwellings.

The property has very recently undergone extensive refurbishment to a very high standard. The many excellent features include a new kitchen with solid oak worktops and electric double oven plus gas hob, new decorative tiling to entrance, new mains operated smoke alarms, new ensuite shower room and new contemporary bathroom/shower room again with attractive new decorative tiling, new fitted carpets and total redecoration.

The host of character features include a wonderful 39ft first floor open plan living room/kitchen with classic high vaulted, panelled and beamed ceilings, deep stained glass leaded light stone mullion windows and a very grand main entrance with double solid doors.
