Originally designed so the western half of the house comprised the chapel, while the eastern side was built for the registrar’s business and dwelling.
Many original features include original arched oak doors, Yorkshire flagged stone entry ways, vaulted ceilings, polished wood floors, fireplaces, and oak panelled rooms.
The dining room is in the former nave of the chapel enjoying illumination from the original chapel windows on 3 sides.
The chapel altar area was converted into the kitchen and now includes a 3-oven gas AGA.
There are two staircases, one on the chapel-side and one on the registrar’s side. Taking the chapel-side staircase leads you to a pair of beautiful arched leaded glass windows, one at the top of the stair landing, one in the single bedroom. There are 3 further double bedrooms, 2 en-suite.
Ground floor: Sitting room/lounge; the room to the rear of the house was used as the registrar’s breakfast room and has the original fireplace that was used for cooking.
There are two cellars, one now a workshop.
Outside is a detached two-car garage with a loft above and an enclosed courtyard with spacious parking.
Recent upgrades include gas central heating, combi-boiler, and re-decoration of many rooms.

Dating back to c. 1866, this former chapel retains many
character features including wonderfully high ceilings and
stained glass windows throughout. The large living space
makes it an amazing place to entertain friends and family.
This is a rare and unique chapel conversion into a
three-bedroomed family home, along with a study and
playroom. It has planning consent to extend to
four-bedroomed, across a third floor with double height roof
space, if desired. The building is of historical interest
within a conservation area, but with no covenants or
restrictions in terms of materials if the property is to be
further developed.
