A 19th century converted chapel providing a luxury, characterful, waterfront bolthole.
The Old Chapel provides a delightful step back in time, full of historic character with unspoilt views of the ancient riparian landscape. The property has been converted into a sumptuous retreat for two, using high quality finishes including Rationel windows, glass and stainless-steel balustrades and internal window shutters.
Descending the ramped granite path to the front door, the entrance door opens up into a porch before you step into the impressive light and airy living space, floored with high gloss, limed timber, which reflects light up to the vaulted ceiling. Ahead of you is a large window framing a breath-taking view over the medieval quay and water.
The open plan living space is divided by level changes; a mezzanine level is used for dining and provides access to a luxury bathroom with a combined bath and shower, a contemporary Twyford basin and wall mounted WC. Two white towel radiators keep the space warm and cosy. The ceiling beams continue into this space, adding character to the room. Opposite the bathroom is a large cupboard housing, the mega flow, heating system and pressure tank. It is also a useful space for storage.
Below the mezzanine level is a high-quality kitchen, fitted out with a range of French polished timber fitted under counter and wall mounted cupboards with integral appliances, including a dishwasher, Hotpoint electric cooker, AEG contemporary extractor hood, electric hob, washing machine and fridge/ freezer.
A door opens up from the kitchen area into a cosy double bedroom, with a wall of built-in wardrobes. The room is filled with light from the south facing window with more stunning views of the river.
The house has been enjoyed as a holiday home by the owners and is also a successful holiday let.
