This unique property has undergone a magnificent conversion from a 17th-century Anglican chapel-of-ease to a luxury holiday home sleeping up to six guests. It’s located in the pretty village of Horsmonden in the Weald of Kent, which has a pub and a well-stocked village shop, and there are many vineyards and farm shops in the area. Bedgebury Pinetum and Forest (7 miles) is perfect for walks and cycle rides and Bewl Water (6 miles) is a reservoir with cycling, water sports, an open-air cinema and a restaurant. The National Trust property Scotney Castle (5 miles) has pretty castle ruins, and the famous gardens at Sissinghurst Castle are 7 miles away.
The magnificent painted chancel roof of the church has been retained along with polychrome brickwork and original arched stained-glass windows. The entrance hall has space to hang coats and store boots, and the open-plan living area includes a double-height vaulted ceiling and wooden floors with underfloor heating throughout. A high archway leads to a dining area with stone flooring and a table seating eight people, and behind it is the kitchen. Glass doors lead to a comfy TV room, and another subterranean snug also has a TV. The bespoke staircase with glass panelling transports you to the first two bedrooms, one with a king-size bed and the other a twin room, plus a shower room. More stairs lead to the master bedroom with floor-to-ceiling glass walls, a king-size bed and additional stairs to an en-suite bathroom with a separate shower and a free-standing double-ended bath with countryside views.
The enclosed garden has a furnished patio area where you can dine alfresco on sunny days.
