THE PROPERTY:
The Methodist Movement founded in the 1700's by a small group of Oxford students including brothers John and Charles Wesley has always been strong on the village.
This property was the original Wesleyan Chapel reputed to have been built at a cost of £150 in 1827. The new chapel (now the Methodist Church) was constructed nearby in 1866 and the original chapel used as a Sunday school for many years.
Despite its historical significance, the property is not listed allowing owners much greater scope to modify it to their requirements than is normally possible with former ecclesiastic buildings.
Below a distinctive hipped gable roof is a beautifully balanced façade with a pair of arched windows complementing stained glass fanlight above a pair of doors that leads into the impressive main reception area. This fine triple aspect, double height room has a high ceiling with two roses surrounded by deep cornicing. An ornate cast iron fireplace with neo-classical surround has been fitted with a gas coal effect fire. At the far end is a mezzanine study beneath which is a snug sitting area.
Large period bi-fold doors link this area to a sizable kitchen that is arranged around a central stone-topped island with electric hob and stainless steel hood above. There are a range of floor and wall units opposite with expansive breakfront working surfaces and an integrated dishwasher and under-counter 'fridge. The adjacent utility provides extra storage, space for an upright 'fridge/freezer and plumbing for an automatic washing machine.
The ground floor is completed by a limestone tiled hall with cloakroom off.
The upstairs accommodation radiates off a landing with the mezzanine study providing a vantage point to appreciate the sheer volume of the main reception room beneath its balustrade.
The larger of the two double bedrooms has far-reaching views across the village to undulating Cotswold countryside beyond and a delightfully quirky angled built in wardrobe. The other is also double aspect and retains a decorative (sealed) cast iron fireplace.
The bathroom has a classic white suite with enamel panel bath with mixer tap and shower attachment.
Although detached, the property has no garden but a paved forecourt to the front does provide off street parking - making it ideal to 'lockup and leave’ principal home that is also well suited to being a second or holiday home.

We are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those selling or buying a property. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Lifetime Legal who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £60 (incl. VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us publishing your property (in the case of a vendor) or issuing a memorandum of sale (in the case of a buyer), directly to Lifetime Legal, and is non-refundable. We will receive some of the fee taken by Lifetime Legal to compensate for its role in the provision of these checks
