Description

One of the most centrally positioned homes in Holt, 1 The Old Chapel provides an ease of living within one of Norfolk’s most sought after locations. This ease is not only due to the future proof ground floor lateral living, but also the fundamental of off street parking for three cars that simply makes living here all the more enjoyable.

The Old Chapel is a striking piece of architecture within the town. Grade II listed and built in 1838, it is an imposing building and wonderful to be a part of. No.1 is the ground floor apartment, with only one other apartment on the first floor. There is a private entrance, as well as the impressive main door which opens onto a communal area for the two apartments.

At the heart of No.1 is a spacious and light open plan living area, about 44 feet in length. With tall ceilings and distinctive columns, this room can be arranged in so many different ways to suit living styles. At one end is the fitted kitchen, with plenty of cabinetry and a large central island, with gas hob cooker. It is the perfect layout for food preparing whilst remaining connected to the rest of the space, with the island inevitably becoming the social hub. The room then stretches away, to be a living, dining, relaxing area of frankly whatever someone wishes it to be. At the opposite end of the room is a contemporary inset woodburner, which helps to provide a cosiness. Conveniently off the kitchen is a utility room for functionality.

Off the open plan area is a sitting room, with wonderful vaulted ceiling and woodburner with exposed brick chimney. This is a lovely room to escape the activity of the open plan, and could be used as a bedroom particularly with the en suite WC and shower room. There are two official double bedrooms, both with en suite shower rooms and built in wardrobes.

Despite the central location, there is the convenient off street parking for about three cars, framed by an attractive brick and flint wall. The wall continues along the side of the house, with a pedestrian gate dividing the parking area from an enclosed gravel garden leading up to the private entrance. This area could be utilised for outside seating, and is well positioned for evening sun.

The property has year round access to the memorial Gardens behind, which when they are locked to the public are accessed through the upstairs neighbours courtyard.
