The Old Chapel, Back Lane, Calton, ST10 3JX

The old chapel, back lane, calton, ST10 3JX Originally built in the 19th century, as its name suggests, a place of worship, the Old Chapel has in more recent years undergone an excellent and well-considered scheme of conversion to provide a superior detached home.

Built of mellow and contrasting brick under a roof of shaped slate, the sympathetic alteration works have successfully retained much of the original charm and character whilst providing the requirements of modern day living.

Considered ideal for occupation by a professional couple or single person, or by those looking towards an active retirement, The Old Chapel would equally provide an attractive holiday home or weekend retreat.
