Property Description
A simply unique and utterly quintessential three bedroom home exuding character and excellence, originally built in the 1800s as a Chapel, but since converted into a fabulous one-of-a-kind residential property in Chapel Lane of Gentleshaw, with the rare added benefit of coming with no upward chain.
Location-wise, Gentleshaw is known for its rural, picturesque nature and practical position, offering very easy access to various surrounding areas including Lichfield, Rugeley and Cannock, whilst being just a very short drive from the breathtaking Cannock Chase, home to a true abundance of walks and trails for any keen ramblers.
Chapel Lodge is set across two floors, with the ground floor consisting of a superb dual aspect living space, featuring a magnificent log burner with substantial exposed brick surround, arched windows to both the front and rear, and a cast iron spiral staircase leading up, whilst also to the ground floor is the hugely impressive traditional style kitchen with AGA oven, a utility room, two good size bedrooms and a Victorian-style shower room. The first floor is home to both the Master bedroom, again with an arched window and ample eaves storage space, and the wonderfully tasteful main bathroom with free-standing cast iron bathtub; each of these rooms being accessed via the mezzanine-style galleried first floor landing that overlooks the aforementioned ground floor living space. A spacious driveway and well maintained mature gardens make up the property's exterior and are coupled with fabulous views all around.
Boasting an extensive range of character features, from timber beams to fantastic high ceilings, and consistently generous room sizes throughout, as well a very charming plot and an outlook over directly neighbouring fields, it's safe to say that this property ticks a significant number of boxes and will be incredibly difficult not to fall in love with once viewed in the flesh. We must advise booking in a viewing at your earliest convenience, as photos will never do a property such as this true justice.
