Bolney Road, Ansty, RH17

A highly individual and versatile home situated in the village of Ansty, with great access to amenities yet enjoying a leafy outlook and close proximity to great walks. The house, as the name suggests, is a former chapel subsequently converted into a home, with attractive gardens to the rear and plenty of parking to the front. The house has been sympathetically transformed, incorporating some original beams with vaulted timber ceilings, stained glass windows and picture rails. It offers a wealth of charm and yet is modern and bright with a well-equipped kitchen and contemporary bathrooms. Most of the accommodation is situated on the ground floor. An entrance hall with cloakroom/WC opens to the good-size sitting room, which has a wood-burning stove, and a separate formal dining room. From here there is access into the open plan kitchen/breakfast room, which has an adjoining utility room. There’s a double bedroom with ensuite shower room, a further double bedroom to the rear, a family bathroom, and a final double bedroom on the top floor with eaves storage.

Outside

The Old Chapel is set within a spacious plot with a block-paved gated driveway to the front that offers parking for number of cars. A bespoke insulated timber garage with power and heating is currently used as a workshop/studio but could easily be re-converted. There are shrubs and mature borders to the front, while to the rear there’s a private garden enclosed by shrubs and trees, with a generous lawn, a pretty pond and plenty of space to sit and relax. Sheds and a greenhouse support the productive kitchen garden.
