Character property for sale

Description

Constructed in c.1840 as a Bible Christian Chapel, this attractive chapel is situated within the heart of the excellent community-oriented village of Brent Knoll. The property is notably not listed, built with rendered rubble stone walls and stone dressings under a pantile roof plus a striking Georgian style porch. There is a delightful outlook overlooking a field opposite which is privately owned and the owner permits use for the community.

The interior principally comprises the chapel and an attached former schoolroom, both boasting superb double-height ceilings and tall windows bringing in ample natural light. The whole extends to around 1,366 sq.ft. including a balconied gallery within the chapel. There is a central entrance hall with room off, and a kitchen and WC area to the rear. There is plenty of off-street parking to the front which is the total extent of the curtilage.

The chapel offers fantastic potential to be converted into a residential dwelling or other uses such as offices, studio, or maybe a nursery.
