Magdalene House, a Grade II listed property located just off Glapthorn Road and within walking distance of central Oundle, is a stunning converted chapel with just under 3,000 square feet of living space. Set on a quarter-acre plot, the property is accessed through double wrought iron gates that open onto a south-facing gravel driveway.
Originally designed by Sir Ninian Comper, a renowned architect known for his work on churches and stained glass, this chapel was built in the late 1800s as a place of worship for the workhouse. In 1987, it underwent a careful conversion under the guidance of English Heritage, which included the addition of ground-floor leaded windows that complement the original first-floor windows, all of which are internally double-glazed.
Magdalene House has been meticulously maintained and boasts a wealth of original features, including a stencilled ceiling with a preservation order, lancet windows, oak doors, a working bell-pull, and an oak and marble fireplace in the living room.
Ground Floor – Consists of entrance hall, main reception, a study, dining room, a utility room and a cloakroom. The kitchen has an aga with room for informal dining.
First Floor – There are four double bedrooms with one master and ensuite. There is also a galleried sitting room leading to a mezzanine area.
Second Floor – There is ample storage in the loft area which has been boarded out with good head height.
Outside – The double wrought iron gates at the rear of the property open to a south-facing garden, revealing a circular gravel driveway framed by box hedging and various planted borders. This secluded garden is beautifully maintained, offering a well-established and lush retreat. The roof was made from local Colley Weston tiles.
Beside the chapel, there’s a shed and a clothes drying area that leads around to the back. Yew hedging lines the pathway leading to the front door, with a pedestrian path extending from the chapel down to Glapthorn Road.
It offers a peaceful sanctuary while still being just a short walk from the town centre, convenient rail and road connections. Excellent rail links are available at Corby, Market Harborough, and Peterborough.
Oundle is a bustling market town nestled in the picturesque countryside of Northamptonshire.
