Description

This distinctive former chapel, dating back to 1835 and unlisted, has been transformed into a spacious four-bedroom residence, situated on approximately 1.3 acres of land. The property not only offers generous living space but also includes several versatile outbuildings, enhancing its functional appeal. Most notably, it comes with full planning permission for three self-build plots, presenting a remarkable investment opportunity in the serene hamlet just two miles from the desirable village of Nether Stowey. The property's layout is well-suited for multi-generational families looking to establish a close-knit community while maintaining their independence. Buyers interested in tailoring their living spaces can take advantage of the self-build plots to design homes that cater to their specific needs. The chapel's interior has been intelligently updated over time, featuring an expansive open-plan kitchen and family room equipped with modern appliances alongside four reception areas. A generous utility/boot room caters perfectly to the demands of country living. Noteworthy historical features include the original commemorative plaque in the hall and access to a former baptistry that now serves as potential storage. Upstairs, you will find four double bedrooms, including two en-suites and a family bathroom. The property benefits from double glazing and an oil-fired heating system, having recently completed significant damp-proofing work. Outside, the grounds extend across approximately 1.36 acres with ample parking provided by a large driveway. Adaptations have turned part of the double garage into an office/studio space suitable for various uses, while another adjoining garage is excellent for garden equipment storage. The gardens showcase sweeping lawns and a water feature within a low-maintenance shingle area, alongside a historically preserved section that reflects its past as a graveyard. The conversion of a former paddock into domestic curtilage adds further value with two brick-built outbuildings on-site. With outline planning permission secured for three custom-built homes—complete with required amenities such as garages, parking spaces, and new access from Whitnell Lane—this property invites prospective owners to explore unique development opportunities for personal use or investment purposes.
