This wing of the Methodist Chapel was sympathetically converted to retain the character whilst creating a spacious family home. The detailing in the brickwork, the large arching wooden beams and the celestial windows show the quality of the original structure. The layout has a modern feel with the open plan sitting room/dining room as a central hub and the kitchen, conservatory and study leading off. The wonderful high ceiling in the main reception hall with stairs off showcase the windows and allow for a large gallery landing. All of the bedrooms are generous doubles and the master benefits from an ensuite shower room whilst there is a family bathroom for the other two to enjoy. The property has been improved by the current owners over the past years, with changes including double glazed windows throughout, decorating, power roller door to the garage, new dressing room and significant planting in the south facing garden.
