In a picturesque corner of Bramdean, Hampshire, a captivating transformation unfolds—Woodlands Chapel, a four-bedroom family home that seamlessly blends old-world charm with contemporary comfort, now for sale for £1.395 million via Carter Jonas.
Originally erected in 1889 under the Diocese of Portsmouth, this Victorian chapel has undergone a remarkable transformation, with its brick and flint elevations, stained glass windows, and bell tower now resonating with new life as a family-friendly dwelling, while maintaining its architectural integrity.
Upon entering, one is greeted by a Neptune-fitted kitchen adorned with granite worktops, which contrasts intriguingly with the chapel's spiritual roots. The home, spread over two floors, offers a breathtaking double-height dining/sitting room, a separate garden room, study/bedroom, and the kitchen on the ground floor, with three bedrooms on the first floor.
