Price:

£1,850,000

Location:

Swainswick, Somerset

Description:

This striking converted chapel, close to the heart of the unesco World Heritage city of Bath, has been carefully restored to create a light-filled, voluminous family home set beneath original arched ceiling vaults. Unfolding over 3,500 sq ft, the house comprises five bedrooms and has a generous rear garden with far-reaching views. A 15-minute walk away from the centre of Bath and just a short amble from the village of Larkhall, the house is fantastically located, with wonderful amenities such as a delicatessen, butcher and a farm shop nearby. Setting the Scene This Victorian chapel, built in 1881, lends itself brilliantly to a family home. During the conversion and renovation process, its current owner spared no effort in improving the space's thermal performance. Discreet secondary glazing has been added inside the windows in order to retain their elegant original frames, while additional insulation has been added alongside underfloor heating across the living spaces. The original proportions of the chapel have been reinstated and celebrated; the double-height room in the centre of the plan was preserved, with two mezzanines added to create additional living space and bedrooms. The space has been enlivened by smart cabinetry designed by Bath-based Shaker and May, with Woodhouse and Law designing each of the bathrooms in a different style. There are inscriptions on the buttresses of people that would have contributed to the original build. A large round window at the front, complete with its original tracery, is fitted with stained glass designed by students from Bath City College in 1990. For more information, please see the History section. The Grand Tour A blue-painted arched doorway leads into a generous lobby, with colourful original tiles lining the floor. This entranceway is flanked by stained-glass windows that emit a warm glow in the morning light. Beyond is the entrance hall, where tumbled oak floorboards begin and lead into.
