Description The Old Chapel is a Grade II listed former Methodist church with a date stone indicating that it was constructed in 1790. It is built of course stone with dressed stone quoins and charming gothic windows. It was closed in 1972 and converted to a residential property in the 1990s. It has been converted with considerable fl air and imagination and now provides dramatic accommodation with a very light 40’ x 30’ drawing room and a superb Clive Christian style fi tted kitchen/breakfast room and four generous bedrooms upstairs.

Outside The house is approached off a small country lane through gates leading to a gravelled parking area for 3/4 cars. It should be noted that there is lapsed planning permission for the construction of a garage. The gardens surround the property on three sides and the current owners have made a particular eff ort in landscaping the garden to provide a family friendly space. They have created an enclosed patio area which is accessed from the kitchen with a more formally planted garden to the front of the property. This area has a delightful eating area, well-stocked fl ower borders and is otherwise predominantly laid to lawn.
