3 bedroom village house for sale

Chapel House predates 1862 and comprises two charming ecclesiastical buildings that are adjoined by a contemporary glass link, offering beautiful modern family living space.

The property has been meticulously restored over recent years with an extensive renovation, preserving historic details inside and outside, including rebuilding the stone walls surrounding the garden, constructing a new carport, and restoring the home's huge windows.

The renovated chapel is a breathtaking space, combining vaulted cathedral ceilings with arched deep-set sash windows, set against rustic oak floorboards, and with exceptional natural light.

The open plan kitchen/dining/family room has been sensitively divided, with the bespoke kitchen designed by Atelier Cabinet Makers at one end, featuring hand-crafted oak cabinetry, free-standing workstations, and two AGA's - a traditional and an electric induction for the summer months; and the dining and living areas arranged in the opposite corners of the room. Two doorways lead from here through to the playroom (which could be used as a fourth bedroom) and an adjacent shower room.

The glass link walkway leads to the rest of the house which comprises panelled living room with elegant, shuttered windows and a wood burner, walk through study flanked by inset oak shelving and a beautiful stone fireplace also with a wood burner; and the third bedroom is positioned opposite. Also on this floor is the utility room, clad in Siberian Larch, with strategically placed picture windows framing views of the garden; and an internal courtyard with sliding aluminium-framed glass doors that create a wonderful flow between the two buildings and offer a perfect space for entertaining in the summer months.

On the first floor there are two double bedrooms, both with far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside. The bathroom has been recently renovated by the current owners and provides a tranquil space thanks to the muted tones of the materials and limewash paint.

The property is approached onto a private gravel driveway where there is parking in addition to the single car port with fast electric vehicle charger.

There is a thoughtfully planted garden and wildflower meadow designed by Marian Boswall, complete with seating, a terrace, aromatic planting, a pond to create a brilliant habitat for wildlife and fruit trees including apple, pear, cherry, as well as walnut and hazelnuts.

There is a fabulous natural chemical-free swimming pool, which is sustainably heated and which was designed and installed by Water Artisans. Dry-stone walls, specimen trees and mature hedging form the external boundary of the private garden and lawn.

There is also a treehouse, built by Treehouse Life, making excellent use of the mature trees; and two garden sheds (both approximately 65 sq ft) which are fully insulated and fitted with services.

In all approximately 0.42 acres.
