Property description

EVER FANCIED LIVING IN A TASTEFULLY CONVERTED CHAPEL? The Weslyan Methodist Chapel in Packington dates back to around 1905 and has recently been superbly converted into an impressive two-storey three-bedroomed family home whilst maintaining many of the character features of the original property including stained glass windows and exposed roof trusses and timberwork. The stunning new design successfully combines the unchanged exterior appearance of the stone-built chapel with a completely redesigned stylish interior, featuring oak flooring with under-floor heating on the ground floor and an impressive new kitchen fitted with a range of high-gloss units. Internal inspection is enthusiastically recommended to fully appreciate this magnificent conversion.

THE LOCATION
The delightful, sought-after village of PACKINGTON lies within two/three miles south-east of the bustling market town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, and has remained relatively unspoilt over many years. There is a village shop and other amenities including a well respected primary school. The area is well-known for its good secondary school, golf courses, tennis clubs and other recreational pastimes. Champney Springs health spa is a short distance away.
