    About this property

    • Built in 1865, The Old Methodist Church is the former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, now converted to an exceptional standard to create a modern and stylishly presented house. The renovation has sympathetically retained a number of character features, including the original arched windows and doors, stained-glass windows and vaulted ceiling, while transforming the building into a contemporary home with generously sized, light-filled interiors.

      A striking first impression is provided by the attractive red door, leading through the garden to the original doorway of the church, now inset with a modern addition. On entering the house there is a hallway with a cloakroom and store, followed by a modern and attractively presented kitchen with Neptune cabinetry and a number of appliances. The highlight is the expansive triple-height living space to the rear, which is lit by fantastically tall windows and has a feature wood-burning stove, French windows opening to the courtyard garden and a striking staircase leading up to a mezzanine floor, which has space for a snug. On the first floor there are two bedrooms – both with built-in storage – and a bath/shower room, with the principal bedroom located on the second floor where there is an en suite shower room, dressing room and mezzanine study.

      The house further benefits from an Ecocent 300-litre hot water tank, which has a hot air and water recovery system, and underfloor heating in the kitchen and entrance hall.

      Outside
      The Old Methodist Church is found in the centre of the village, and is accessed via the original arched gateway into a pretty lawned churchyard. The walled garden to the front is bordered by shrubs on either side, with a path leading to the front door. The rear garden is designed in a courtyard style, with a decking floor and space for pots and garden furniture. On-street parking is available locally.
