Description

Dating back to 1852, this striking Grade II Listed chapel has been beautifully converted and retains many original features, including stained-glass windows, vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and stonework. The open plan living area is a commanding space, while the three bedroom suites are particularly charming.

Formerly St Saviour's Chapel, an integral part of the old Oakwood Hospital, the magnificent building has become a simply glorious home. The features here have been so carefully preserved, from the columns and arches through to the windows and the high beamed ceilings. As soon as you step in you are struck by the beauty of the carved stone and the stained-glass windows. Yet the conversion lends itself to day-to-day living as well. This is a great place to spend time and a wonderful home to entertain in.

The main living area in the Grade II Listed building is open plan. One section, which still retains its original panelling, has been made into a drawing room area. A few steps up, beneath the great vaulted and beamed ceiling is where the large stained-glass window is. Coloured light streams through the image of Jesus the Comforter in deep reds, blues, greens and golds. The window has a Victorian style and was given by staff and patients at the hospital.

The conversion has been carried out with great sympathy for the original chapel, while also ensuring the building works well as a home. Upstairs, three stained-glass windows have been worked into the design - two in the bedroom and one in the bathroom. All three bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms. This house is really very flexible. Some people might think a historical building would be cold but this home is sunny, bright and very comfortable, as well as having that sense of tradition.

True to its past, and retaining a real sense of history, the structure of the building remains intact with the careful conversion worked around its striking architectural form. Entering through large double doors, the lobby offers an early indication of this home's character with a vaulted ceiling, original flagstone flooring and an intricately shaped leaded light window. Through yet another impressive solid wood door your attention is drawn to the striking black and white tiled floor that spans to a further set of double doors that open to the commanding open plan living area. It is here that you find the remarkable hand carved chancel screen and awe-inspiring 26' vaulted ceiling, while the stunning stained-glass window casts a beautiful light on the raised dining area. Additionally, there is a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and a cloakroom/utility room.

As you make your way up to the bedrooms you can appreciate another fine example of stained glass before reaching the three beautiful suites. These charming rooms boast leaded light windows, exposed beams and stone work. Bedrooms one and three also benefit from walk-in wardrobes.
