OLD CHAPEL

A rare opportunity to acquire this magnificent and iconic 19th century chapel centrally located in the village and extensive accommodation with wonderful garden outlook.

Constructed in 1844, the former Weslyan chapel has been converted into a family home providing a wealth of fascinating reception space and bedrooms filled with character, period features and views, boasting up to six bedrooms and three bathrooms, one of which being ensuite. There is off-road parking to the front and the gardens to the rear are private with a glorious outlook over mature woodland beyond. There are elements of the property that have been modernised, including bi-folding doors to the rear and a new annexe roof element, however Old Chapel represents an ideal opportunity for refurbishment or redecoration and could provide an ideal family home, holiday home or lifestyle holiday let property.

Old Chapel is situated in an enviable position on Kings Road which provides easy access to the pretty village centre with its array of cafes, restaurants, pubs shops and amenities in addition to a butcher, florist, bakery, fishmonger, pharmacist, refillery and farm shop. It is just a few minutes’ walk from the house to the quiet of Ducie Beach or Bembridge Harbour’s sailing clubs, seafood restaurants, boat yards and mooring facilities. There are also numerous coastal paths and beaches close by. High speed links to the mainland are 7 miles away via Ryde and include the hovercraft (a ten minute crossing) and fast catamaran.
