Description
Set within the highly desirable village of Kings Cliffe, this beautifully converted Wesleyan Chapel, originally dating back to 1823, offers a rare blend of period charm and modern comfort. Converted for residential use over 30 years ago, this unique property spans two adjoining chapels and is rich with original features.

The property seamlessly integrates its original historic features with contemporary living. The original chapel, later used as the local school, welcomes you into an open plan kitchen/dining room showcasing a wealth of character, featuring exposed stone walls, beams, and an original pew. The kitchen is fitted with traditional-style units, solid-wood worktops, and a Butler sink, while a separate utility room offers practical side access to the private courtyard garden.

Adjoining the older chapel is the main living space within the 1909-built chapel, a stunning living room that showcases stained-glass windows on all sides, a high vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and original wooden flooring. The space retains its historic charm with the original minister's pulpit and cast iron radiators, complemented by a contemporary gas fire for additional comfort. An additional front entrance, currently used for storage, offers the potential to be restored as the primary entryway.

Off the living room, a hallway leads to a door opening onto the garden, originally the minister's entrance, which includes the original cast-iron fireplace and a guest cloakroom. The downstairs cloakroom has been fitted with a contemporary two-piece suite including wash hand basin low level WC and contemporary tiling.

A spiral staircase leads to the mezzanine balcony area on the first floor, offering a full view of the chapel's interior. Currently used as two home offices, this flexible space could also serve as a guest area or additional living space. An archway leads to a hallway giving access to two double bedrooms and the main bathroom, all featuring exposed stone walls and beams. The well-appointed family bathroom includes a roll-top bath, separate shower and skylight windows.

Outdoor Space:
The property includes off-road parking for at least three vehicles, with gated side access to the rear. A private courtyard garden at the rear of the property offers a serene outdoor space for alfresco dining and entertaining with family and friends featuring a raised wooden decked area.
