New Homes Property of the Month
When old meets new: a former chapel that’s now a stunning three-bedroom home. Take a look inside.
New homes are often associated with brand-new developments, new pockets of suburbia, and shiny modern appliances. For some people, new homes are the perfect properties. A blank canvas, a fresh start, and the reassurance that everything has been built just for them. But others seek character, quirky features, and history when they’re searching for a home.
For May’s property of the month, we’re delighted to share a home that ticks all those boxes, and more! Let’s take a look at this three-bedroom home, rich in history but with a modern feel – perfect for growing families.
New Homes Sales Manager, Tom Gannaway, shares: “This house is truly unique. Previously a chapel and then a retreat centre for people with sight loss, it has now undergone a stunning transformation into a beautiful home, while retaining many of the original features.”
As you enter through the former chapel doors you’re greeted by a large, open living area with plenty of natural light. This open-plan space also includes a brand-new kitchen with top appliances and room for a dining table. Off the kitchen, there’s a convenient utility room and shower room that leads through to a spacious bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.
Upstairs, there’s another bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a room that could be used as a third bedroom or a study. From the first floor, views look out onto Hurstpierpoint’s stunning countryside, giving you the feeling that you’re nestled within nature.
Developed by Martin Homes, a company that has specialised in converted homes for more than 30 years, original features remain throughout the property. These include large, timber-frame, stained glass windows that have been installed with protective secondary glazing, as well as exposed masonry and original external doors.
This home is part of a small development with seven luxury apartments and two houses, all located a stone’s throw away from Hurstpierpoint High Street. Few places compare to this village, especially if you’re looking for a vibrant community full of independent businesses. As well as having the perfect village close by, from the doorstep you can access the South Downs National Park, offering miles of walks and a nature escape.
If that’s not all, the home is situated just 1.5 miles from Hassocks train station, giving you speedy access to Brighton and the South Coast, as well as direct links to Gatwick Airport and London Victoria.
Tom adds: “This is a rare opportunity to purchase a part of history, whilst still having a property that’s been refurbished in style and even comes with a 10-year new homes warranty for peace of mind.”
Homes at this development start from £350,000, so if you’d like to come and see this converted chapel for yourself, get in touch with Tom today by calling 01273 829313 or emailing tgannaway@mishonmackay.com.
