We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A truly individual detached home, this beautifully converted former chapel combines historic character with thoughtful modern living.
Offering three double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a distinctive mezzanine floor within one of the bedrooms, the property has been sympathetically transformed while retaining many of its original and much-loved features.
The current owners have thoughtfully extended the property at ground-floor level, creating a generous and versatile home whilst preserving the distinctive charm and proportions of the original chapel.
Period features include the original windows, doors and altar, providing a fascinating reminder of the building’s heritage and giving the home an atmosphere that is difficult to replicate in a conventional property.
The accommodation makes excellent use of the chapel’s impressive volume and character.
A particular feature is the mezzanine floor, which forms part of one of the bedrooms and is accessed via an attractive spiral staircase.
This additional level creates a versatile space that could be used as a study, reading area, home office or further bedroom space, subject to the purchaser’s requirements and any necessary consents.
With three well-proportioned double bedrooms and two bathrooms, the property provides ample accommodation for family living, guests and home working.
The combination of original architectural details, generous living space, the mezzanine and the later ground-floor extension creates a home that is both practical and highly distinctive.
A particularly attractive feature is the property's proximity to the Royal Masonic School for Girls, making it especially appealing to families connected with the school.
A rare opportunity to acquire a detached home with genuine history, character and individuality, this former chapel offers a wonderful blend of original period features, versatile contemporary accommodation and an enviable location.
