The Old Chapel, Stanton Drew

Description:

Imaginatively conceived and elegantly presented this intriguing 1832 built, former Methodist Chapel makes a stunning home. Sensitively converted the property offers versatile and consistently sized accommodation over three storeys and combines bold finishes with reassuringly traditional charm and character whilst never becoming too ‘chapelish’. A superbly executed entertaining space on the first floor forms the dramatic ‘centre piece’ of this fine building boasting an open plan living room, kitchen and dining area replete with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and partially exposed walls as well as a balcony to the rear offering breathtaking views across the Chew Valley. Ideal for a growing family with teenagers or an enthusiastic entertaining couple the property offers double bedroom on both this floor and the floor above whilst a luxurious master bedroom suite and guest suite or potential annexe will be found on the ground floor. Lovingly created gardens with generous parking complete the picture: landscaped to the front, whilst lawned to rear and abutting a paddock of approximately two acres.
