Description
Hidden from the lane in a small private enclave, this beautifully converted former Methodist chapel offers a rare combination of contemporary living coupled with the historic charm of a period building. Situated well away from main roads, the property enjoys a peaceful and secluded setting while still providing easy access to local amenities. The chapel was converted in 2013 by award-winning Brownfield Green, one of the UK's leading church conversion specialists. The current owners bought the home directly from the developer.
