2 bedroom detached for sale

The property stands as one of three highly individual homes, converted from this former chapel and is principally formed within the impressive front elevation. The conversion was carried out circa 2008 paying attention to detail through the impressive design, retaining occasional features and notably the high ceilings and most attractive tall arched windows, replaced and double glazed as part of the exacting conversion works.
