This stunning four bedroom semi detached Georgian cottage is stylishly presented throughout, with impressive features including refurbished original wooden flooring, feature brick walls, and a contemporary open-plan kitchen. The property dates back to the early 1800s and is unique in that it was originally a chapel and later part of a village pub, from which it gets its name.

The kitchen is well zoned, the current clients have created a cosy seating area in front of the open fire, in addition to a more formal dining area to the rear of the kitchen. A practical utility room has also been added, alongside a ground floor WC.

The large sitting room is of particular note, boasting unique windows to the front that maximize the south facing aspect of the room, creating a light, bright family space.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom is of particular note with a generously sized room and en suite bathroom, along with lovely views over the garden and Bedgebury. There are three further bedrooms, two of which are doubles, served by the family shower room. The fourth of which offers flexibility as a study/nursery.
