3 bed property for sale

Rhiw Road, Rhiwfawr, Neath Port Talbot. SA9

Chapel House is an exceptional and character-filled detached three-bedroom home, originally constructed in 1892 as a chapel and thoughtfully converted over time into a striking contemporary residence. Located on Rhiw Road in the village of Rhiwfawr, this unique home seamlessly blends historic charm with high-quality modern living, enhanced by traditional details such as slate window sills that complement the property’s period character.
Set behind a recently laid resin driveway providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles, the property immediately conveys the standard and care invested throughout by the current owners.
The accommodation is centred around a stunning main lounge, a truly impressive space defined by its vaulted ceiling and beautiful mezzanine overlooking the living area, flooding the room with natural light and creating a dramatic yet welcoming atmosphere. The owners have enhanced the property with no expense spared, including a bespoke oak staircase, solid oak doors, quality flooring and slate sills to the windows, all carefully chosen to complement the character of the original chapel.
The property also benefits from a spacious open-plan kitchen diner, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, complete with a breakfast bar and pleasant side aspect views. Additional ground floor accommodation includes a separate utility room, a modern shower room, and a third bedroom, offering flexibility for guests, home working or multi-generational living.
To the maisonette level, the mezzanine provides a striking outlook over the main living space and leads to two further bedrooms and a beautifully finished family bathroom. This floor has been thoughtfully reconfigured to maximise space and flow, in keeping with the high standard seen throughout the home.
Over the years, the current owners have continued to enhance Chapel House, adding nothing but quality, with improvements including high-end bathrooms, reconfiguration of the maisonette floor, premium flooring, bespoke oak features and traditional slate detailing.
Rarely does a home of this style, history and finish come to market. Chapel House offers a unique lifestyle opportunity in the heart of Rhiwfawr and must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
