Chapel of charm and wow

Exquisitely formed with oodles of wow factor inside and out, this former Methodist Chapel, offers a 1-bedroom home with open plan living space. However, there is also potential to create a second bedroom mezzanine.

Batch Chapel is surrounded by views of South Shropshire’s stunning countryside in a secluded location, near Cockshutford, ten miles from the medieval market town of Ludlow. It is on the market with Balfours with a guide price of £225,000.

Balfours Cathrine Barre reflects: “You cannot help but be drawn in by its charm and character. It is approached via a private track. There is parking for several cars. Step inside, this clever conversion benefits from an entrance hall with a shower room to one side and straight ahead is the bedroom.

Both the bedroom and shower room are within a new build and clad in new corrugated steel. Yet the structure works seamlessly with the stone chapel, enhanced by two arched stained-glass windows which give the shower room a unique atmosphere.”

The star of the Chapel is the open plan space beyond the hall, through double doors. This space lets the eye ascend to the shapely eaves apex. The whole is white and light creating such a feeling of space. To the one end is the kitchen with sink, worktop and cooker, near the centre of the living area is a Clearview woodburning stove.

A separate building provides a utility room and store, for logs plus other needs.  To enjoy the idyllic surroundings there is a patio area, surrounded by its own plot, currently laid to lawn, with mature trees framing the space.

Cathrine observes: “Batch Chapel really is one of those unique properties in a most fabulous location, surrounded by wonderful walking routes over a large area, including Nordy Bank and Abdon Burf.” For more information call Balfours on 01584 707100.
