  • Unique Conversion of Congregational Chapel

Ideal for anyone wanting to run a business from home, this individual property is located in the centre of the sought-after village of Cheriton. Used as a Congregational Chapel for over 100 years, the building closed for worship in 1980 and was converted into a unique workspace, with separate first floor accommodation. Although currently separated into two distinct parts, planning permission was granted in January 2024 to convert the whole into a live/work unit, in effect a two bedroom house with class E work space (sdnp/23/04966/ful). There is an integral garage, and separate parking. The property is offered for sale with no onward chain.

The Chapel is an iconic building in the village centre, and is located opposite the primary school, and close to the shop/post office and village hall. The property is approached from the side, with a door opening to a stairwell allowing access to the ground floor office and first floor flat. The office is set up with fitted desks, a kitchenette, wc, copier room, archive storage, and further high level storage. An electric roller shutter door allows access to the garage and a dedicated entrance door to the office. There is an ev charging point and overhead storage.

Stairs from the stairwell go up to the first floor flat, where there is a central dining area, kitchen and bathroom, as well as two bedroom. The light and airy living room is at the front of the building and features a spiral staircase up to a mezzanine seating area/study. There is useful attic storage above the kitchen. The live/work plan would allow for the kitchen and dining room to be moved to the ground floor, allowing for the re-design of the flat.

Cheriton is a sought-after village located in the South Downs National Park, with a well-known pub, primary school, local shop, church and its own civil war battlefield. It is considered to be a welcoming and inclusive village and, once there, people seem to rarely move away. Cheriton is surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside and is located 3 miles south of Alresford and 6 miles to the east of Winchester. There is access to London, Southampton and the Midlands via the local road network and there are rail links to London from Winchester and Petersfield.
