The Old Chapel, The Row, Elham

A delightful, period style, detached property, with allocated parking, built in 2012 to an exceptionally high standard with fine craftmanship and bespoke joinery. Every effort has been made to ensure the exterior blends with the neighbouring properties of Elham village, exposed brick and wooden sash windows complements the flint work found from the original chapel walls.

A characterful interior match that to the façade, and the current owners have creatively presented a modern property with elegant décor. The Old Chapel displays excellent energy efficiency throughout, with double glazed window, ground source heat pump, excellent insulation, and solar panels, dramatically reducing energy bills. There is also the added potential to complete a third bedroom with the loft room that has been partially converted.

The handsome solid wood front door opens into a lobby area which in turn opens into a striking sitting room, with exposed brick fireplace and oak bressummer. The wood effect flooring is laid throughout and leads one to the open plan kitchen breakfast room which is illuminated in light from the vast glazing.

The kitchen has an array of pale coloured wall and floor units that integrate all main appliances, the units have been finished with oak work tops, stylish metro tiles and slim line dark handles.

The space is wonderfully light and airy, perfect for entertaining with ample open plan space that leads out onto the garden through the double-glazed French doors.

The ground floor is further enhanced by a cloak room discreetly built in under the stairs and closed off with a pocket door.

To the first floor there is a landing that leads one to a well-appointed shower room finished with stone mosaic tiles and two double bedrooms.



OUTSIDE:

French doors open onto a tiered garden, which has been arranged with decking creating several areas, for alfresco dining. To the top of the garden there is a lovely area of lawn enclosed by fencing and backs onto the village allotment plots. The property has an allocated parking space at the front of the property.

SITUATION:

The Old Chapel enjoys a wonderful position, just of the main high street and moments from the village square in the picturesque village of Elham, which can be found deep in the heart of the North Downs and within the Kent Downs area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Whilst much of the countryside surrounding the village is arable farmland there are still patches of grassland where wildlife is allowed to flourish such as Baldock Downs and Hall Downs. For much of its history, Elham was a small market town, and it retains many of the fine buildings of its late medieval and Tudor heyday. The Square or old marketplace of Elham adjoins the churchyard of the Grade I listed church of St. Mary, on the north side and dates from 1251. The village is served by several fine pubs, a tearoom, a village stores and a village hall which hosts numerous clubs and societies. The village also benefits from a doctors surgery and a Church of England primary school.
