Steeped in history and beautifully transformed for modern living, Chapel House is a truly exceptional detached home that offers a lifestyle unlike any other.
Originally built in 1892 as a chapel, this remarkable property has been sympathetically converted to create a stunning three-bedroom residence, where striking architectural features sit effortlessly alongside high-quality contemporary finishes.
Occupying an elevated position in the picturesque village of Rhiwfawr, Chapel House enjoys beautiful mountain views and offers a rare opportunity to own a home rich in character, individuality and craftsmanship.
From the moment you arrive, the quality is evident.
A recently laid resin driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles, while the attractive stone boundary walls hint at the property's historic origins.
At the heart of the home lies the breathtaking main lounge—a spectacular space featuring a soaring vaulted ceiling, a feature log burner and an impressive mezzanine gallery overlooking the living area.
Flooded with natural light from multiple skylights and large windows, this room perfectly showcases the chapel's original proportions whilst creating an inviting and contemporary living environment.
The current owners have invested significantly in enhancing the property, incorporating bespoke oak staircases and solid oak internal doors, luxury flooring, traditional slate window sills, beautifully appointed bathrooms and thoughtful reconfiguration throughout.
Every improvement has been carefully considered to preserve the building's unique heritage while delivering exceptional modern comfort.
The spacious open-plan kitchen and dining room is ideal for both family life and entertaining, offering an excellent range of fitted units, integrated appliances and a central breakfast bar.
A separate utility room provides additional practicality, while the ground floor also benefits from a stylish shower room and a versatile third bedroom, perfect as guest accommodation, a home office or for multi-generational living.
The impressive mezzanine level creates a wonderful architectural feature overlooking the lounge and leads to two generous double bedrooms.
The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, boasting vaulted ceilings, exposed character, built-in storage and a luxurious en-suite bathroom complete with a freestanding bath.
A beautifully finished family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation. Homes of this calibre and individuality rarely become available.
