About this property

A wonderful detached former chapel, dated 1837, with panoramic countryside views, set in a quiet location within easy reach of the bustling town of Thornbury.

This is your opportunity to acquire a little bit of history: a converted chapel, built in 1837 (the year Queen Victoria succeeded the throne), set in the middle of the South Gloucestershire countryside. Featuring a sunny rear garden, the chapel comprises a large kitchen/breakfast room and an even more spacious lounge/diner downstairs, the latter having a glorious wood-burning stove and exposed stone walls. There is also a downstairs cloakroom. On the first floor are three bedrooms and a bathroom. All these rooms enjoy natural light, and one of the bedrooms boasts a fantastic glass gable, with french doors, a glass balustrade, and open rural views (it has been said that this room would actually make a glorious sitting room, if two bedrooms were enough for you). There is parking available on one side, with the option of additional gated off-street parking on the large patio.
