Description

An Elegant Home of Impeccable Character and Charm

Originally built in 1883 as the Les Landes Methodist Chapel, Chapelle Des Landes is a truly unique and beautifully restored former chapel that has been transformed into an exceptional family home. Lovingly restored over the past 40 years by its current owners, this remarkable property retains the timeless beauty of its ecclesiastical roots while offering all the comfort and practicality of modern living.

Steeped in history, the chapel retains many of its original features, including soaring ceiling heights, intricate wood panelling, original chapel doors, and arched windows that flood the space with light. The home is designed to follow the light of the day, from early morning sunshine on the terraces to golden evening light on the west-facing garden and terrace off the kitchen and conservatory.

The 30-foot living room is a breathtaking space, crowned by the original chapel's vaulted ceiling and anchored by a panoramic south-facing window overlooking the orchard. The light-filled kitchen offers space for dining and connects to a cosy snug/TV room, which flows seamlessly into the conservatory. This inviting space leads directly onto the sunny terraces and mature garden beyond.

The ground floor hosts the bedrooms with two full bedroom suites, each with its own en-suite bathroom and dressing area. A further two double bedrooms, including one currently used as a study with bespoke cherry wood Quaker-style cabinetry, provide flexibility for family living or work-from-home needs. All rooms benefit from thoughtfully designed built-in storage.
The principal suite is a calm and graceful retreat, featuring a spacious dressing room and a luxurious ensuite bathroom. From here, a tranquil orangery looks out over a serene pond and water feature, perfect for quiet mornings or reflective evenings. Above the garage is bedroom five or studio, that has a vaulted ceiling, en-suite shower room, fridge, desk, and ample space, ideal for guests, teenagers, or use as a home office.

Outside, the grounds are equally impressive. Set within extensive gardens, the property features a fully stocked wildlife pond with a natural waterfall feature, a large lawn framed by mature trees, and a magnificent 50-metre copper beech hedge. A pristine laurel hedge provides further privacy and beauty. Across from the property lies a pesticide-free orchard with mature oak, sycamore, and fruit trees, nurtured as a sustainable, natural landscape for over four decades.
Additional features include a granite-built double garage with a wine store and ample storage. Additionally there is a large shed and workshop.

Chapelle Des Landes is a rare and enchanting home, brimming with charm, rich in history, and finished to an impeccable standard. It is a sanctuary of light, peace, and character, an extraordinary opportunity to own a truly one-of-a-kind property.
