Unique Converted Church With Original Features, Spacious Layout And Stunning Character Throughout!

The Seller’s View
We’ve absolutely loved living in this home, it offers the perfect blend of countryside charm and everyday convenience. Tucked away in a peaceful spot, yet just minutes from local shops, it’s made daily life incredibly easy. Our teenagers have especially benefited from the excellent bus links to both Basingstoke and Newbury, giving them independence and us peace of mind. When we’ve needed more, both towns are close by, and with Aldermaston station less than ten minutes away, train travel has been quick and simple.

What makes this home truly special is that it’s not just a house – it’s a converted church. Living here has felt different in the best possible way. The property is full of character, with stunning original features and an incredible sense of space and calm. It’s rare to find a home with such a unique atmosphere, blending history and personality with comfort and warmth. It’s been a safe, welcoming haven and a wonderful place to raise our family.

We’ve created so many cherished memories here. The family before us lived in this home for over thirty years, and we’ve experienced the same deep sense of belonging. It’s a house that holds people well – and we know it will do the same for whoever lives here next.

The Agent’s View
This is a truly exceptional home! Full of character, history, and charm, but it isn't listed. It’s not every day you come across a converted church, and this one stands out with its original stained glass windows, beautiful architectural details, and an impressive galleried landing that adds drama and light to the space. One of my favourite features is the old church door with its large, original key – just one of many nods to the building’s past.

For those wondering, there are no burials on site. The property was originally built in 1872 as a "mission chapel", an overflow chapel for a growing local congregation and was later converted into a residential home in the early 1980s.

At one end of the property, there's a versatile area that could be turned into an annexe once again, having previously served that purpose. This space includes a mezzanine overlooking the main reception below and showcases the largest stained glass window – currently used as bedroom four, but ideal as a home office or studio with a view.

Outside, the home offers wraparound gardens and a generous driveway with space for multiple vehicles, as well as a detached double garage. The private grounds provide a variety of peaceful spots to enjoy the outdoors, surrounded by mature planting and charming period features.

This is a rare chance to own a unique piece of architectural history. If you’re looking for a home that’s unlike anything else – full of character, space, and potential – don’t miss this opportunity. Book your viewing today!
