4 bedroom character property to rent

A truly exceptional former Methodist chapel dating from 1902, beautifully refurbished and reconfigured to create a highly energy-efficient and versatile home, while retaining its remarkable period character.

Set back from the road with private off-road parking for two vehicles, The Old Chapel is a rare opportunity to rent a distinctive village home. Stained glass windows, vaulted ceilings and original ecclesiastical features have been combined with modern comforts and a high-quality finish throughout.

From the moment you step inside, the history of the building is evident. Wooden panelling, original stonework and colourful geometric stained glass create a really dramatic first impression.

The refurbishment has been carried out to an exceptional standard, preserving the charm and architectural integrity of the chapel while providing all the home comforts and efficiency expected of a modern home. Thermostatically controlled electric heating, solar panels managed via an app, excellent lighting efficiency and thoughtful upgrades contribute to impressively low running costs for a property of this scale.

On the ground floor, there is:
A stylish galley kitchen with shaker-style oak cabinetry and built-in double oven, electric hob and dishwasher. A washing machine and tumble dryer can be left if required.
A lovely sized dining room with French doors opening onto the patio and the garden.
A double bedroom which is served by a newly fitted shower room and a separate study/home office.

Upstairs, the principal living area is truly spectacular. The open-plan sitting room sits beneath a vaulted, wood-clad ceiling with original carved edging detail. Light streams through the large arched stained glass window and rooflights and a wood-burning stove provides a cosy focal point for the winter months. Also on the first floor are two further double bedrooms and a newly fitted bathroom with a shower over the bath.

Outside, the fully enclosed south-facing garden offers privacy and mature planting, with space for outdoor dining and relaxation. Pets will be considered.

Situated in the village of Barford St Martin, the property has a peaceful rural setting conveniently located just two miles from Wilton and within easy reach of Salisbury. The village itself has a popular pub, church, petrol station with shop and beautiful countryside walks directly from the doorstep.
