Property description

Chapel A began life approximately one hundred and sixty years ago as a Methodist Chapel. It played an integral part in the life of the village and the façade is preserved as an attractive reminder of past times. However the interior is now a seamless merger of original features with the sophisticated comforts of the twenty first century.The house is conveniently situated in a quiet lane just behind Bitton High Street. Bitton is a lively village with a thriving primary school, village shop, hairdressers, garage, beautiful church and active community with gardening, history and sporting clubs as well as a traditional village fete. However, Georgian Bath is only 6 miles away and the cultural and commercial centre of Bristol is just over 7 miles away. Both towns have extensive educational, leisure and sporting opportunities and there are fast rail links into London and the Midlands. The present owner explains that you can catch a bus to town at the end of the lane, and leave the car at home.The vendors say: “Visitors are always impressed by the size of the light -filled, open, ground floor space that rises up to the vaulted ceiling. And the charm of the red and blue stained glass windows, that send their warm colour across the walls on a sunny day. The space is both comfortable, and the perfect entertaining venue, where we have enjoyed the fifteen foot Christmas tree, which makes a dramatic, and sparkling addition to the room over the festive season. The room really has a huge wow factor.”“The modern, well equipped kitchen sits under the mezzanine ceiling, and guests gather round the massive central island to chat to the cook, and enjoy informal kitchen meals. The ground floor is the very sociable hub of the home, and we feel that this modern space retains the warmth and welcome that Chapel provided for its congregations.”“The courtyard garden is the perfect setting to catch the last rays of sun while enjoying an evening glass of wine. Even when the weather is not so warm, it is lovely to light a fire in the fire pit and perhaps have a barbecue or an al fresco supper outside.”“We have loved the life style at Chapel A and people occasionally stop to say they remember going to the chapel as a child, or that they got married there! It is a very special home and waits for the next owners to be part of its history.”
