Description
This former chapel is arranged over two floors and is offered with no onward chain. The ground floor includes an entrance hall, utility room, shower room, kitchen, dining room, family room and a particularly large dual-aspect lounge. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a bathroom with both a bath and separate shower. The accommodation is described as requiring renovation, offering scope for a buyer to update and adapt the existing rooms, subject to any necessary checks and consents.
Outside, an automatic sliding gate opens to an enclosed drive with a garage door, while a separate walled patio area is accessed from the lounge and family room. The property has mains electricity, gas, water and drainage. It is in Twyford village, with access to Melton Mowbray, Oakham, Leicester and Market Harborough, and further local facilities in nearby villages. Viewings are by appointment through Mike Ford Estate Agents & Valuers Ltd.

Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £325,000, this former chapel is priced at about £165/sq ft, well below the local average of £289/sq ft—an attractive entry point for a buyer looking to create value. Its arched windows, gated frontage and enclosed patio areas give the project character, while the large stripped-back chapel room and separate family and dining rooms offer scope to shape the interior around the building’s distinctive proportions.
This is a substantial renovation rather than a cosmetic update: the principal room is unfinished, the kitchen and upstairs bathroom need attention, and pronounced staining around an upstairs roof window should be investigated. The supplied works range is £45,000–£85,000, so the appeal is the combination of a low asking price and a characterful canvas, with the final result depending on the scope of work and what the staining reveals.
Key opportunities
- Reimagine the large chapel room, with its arched windows and dual aspect, as the defining living space.
- Use the separate family and dining rooms to create flexible spaces alongside the principal room.
- Refresh the enclosed patio areas and gated frontage to complement the chapel’s distinctive exterior.
Key risks
- The stripped-back principal room, unfinished surfaces and visible wiring, alongside worn finishes elsewhere, make the £45,000–£85,000 works range a full renovation programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- Pronounced staining around an upstairs roof window needs investigation; the roof and brickwork have not been inspected.
