About this property

Stunning converted Methodist chapel

The Chapel was built in 1803 and converted recently into a beautifully designed house with large social spaces which are perfect for entertaining friends and families. As you enter the chapel you are welcomed into an enormous drawing room with 2 lounge areas, a dining area and the main staircase taking you to the first floor. The main lounge is focused around a large stone fireplace with an 18kw wood burner with 2 large sofas and 2 chairs. The second lounge area with a L shaped sofa and chair is at the front of the house where you can enjoy the morning sun and watch the boats go by on the river. The dining table comfortably sits 12. Through the oak arch you enter into the large country kitchen with a seperate pantry/utility room and cloakroom. Spiral staircase to the first floor, french doors out into the garden. A 6 gas ring/electric double range oven and a dining table that seats 10. Outside there's are 2 lounging areas, one with an open fireplace, dining table and a Weber drum BBQ. And if you have a boat - A private mooring at the front of the house.

On the first floor are 4 large double bedrooms all with king sized beds and memory foam mattresses - the master bedroom has a superking sized bed and the 2 front bedrooms enjoy views across the river. A large wetroom with rainfall shower and a lovely bathroom with large roll top bath. A large hallway with seating takes you to the dial staircase and up to the second floor with exposed beams and another lounging area. Here we have an open plan master suite with the 5th king sized bed, and 2 occasional guest beds that can be made up anywhere in the house. A large lounge area with 3 sofas and various chairs plus a 48" Samsung smart tv. This room measure 10 metres by 6 metres so plenty of space to relax or socialise.

80th Celebrations
A stunning and interesting building for a multi-generational family to gather in and celebrate together. With a chef in the ranks, the request was for more than just one single sink in the kitchen and a stack load more tea towels please. Suggestions to raise the fantastic experience to perfection: : Softer towels : vanity mirrors in some of the bedrooms to check the lippy : instructions for the appliances A wonderful stay, in an amazing building, set within a unique British landscape.

Amazing house for a 60th family birthday party
Wow, the house is amazing. For a family of 9 people there was plenty of room for us all. The garden is great and we spent nights sat outside or around the large table. Everything is thought of for your stay and we would definitely recommend this to anyone thinking of renting this property. Gregory the owner is very helpful and nothing is too much trouble for him. The location is quiet (which we wanted) but there is a lovely pub in the village we a few of the group went too (to watch football on sky - but they didnt have it lol). A walk around the village is a must and the church over the road is lovely to have a walk around to blow off the cobwebs. A fantastic weekend was had by all, would definitely recommend, thank you the Hargadon gang
