3 bedroom detached house for sale

Description

The Old Chapel is an exceptional, unique detached character home nestled within the Cotswold village of Bisley, surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside and just a short walking distance to two cosy village pubs. Formerly a Methodist chapel dating back to the 1840s, the current owners have undertaken an incredible renovation of the property creating a truly stunning home which sympathetically harmonises high quality modern finishes with the original architecture ensuring the magnificent features were retained throughout. The substantial accommodation extends to over 2,000 sq.ft. enhanced by impressive ceiling height and the traditional tall arched windows supplying plenty of natural light.

The ground floor is entered through the spectacular original chapel double doors opening to a front foyer. At the heart of the home is a spacious living area with a dual-aspect, galleried staircase above and a warming wood-burning stove. The ground floor layout is superbly configured for socialising and entertaining thoughtfully designed to flow as open plan connecting through a truly remarkable archway. The adjoining kitchen has been custom designed with integrated appliances and a large central island. Upstairs leading up from the bespoke galleried staircase, there is an additional sitting room also with a wood-burning stove. There is a guest bedroom with stylish en suite shower room on the ground floor plus a snug/occasional bedroom 3 currently used as a media room.  The principal bedroom suite is privately located on the first floor complete with a dressing room and fully equipped luxurious en-suite bathroom with separate shower.

The imposing exterior is complemented by wrought iron gates to the front creating a grand welcome. To the rear of the property and accessed from a private lane, there is private off-street parking for three cars. The mature gardens wraparound the whole creating a lovely degree of seclusion from well-established trees, and has been thoughtfully landscaped with two raised seating terraces.
