An exceptional opportunity to own a breathtaking former Methodist chapel, nestled in the picturesque and tranquil Dorset village of Hazelbury Bryan. This unique property, steeped in history and character, comes with full planning permission for conversion into a stunning residential home, offering the perfect blend of charm, space, and potential.
Constructed in 1863 with striking red brick and a slate tile roof, this former chapel is a rare find. The property was later extended in the late 19th century to include a school room, adding to its charm and versatility. The main hall and school room feature double-height windows and vaulted ceilings, creating a sense of grandeur and light. The layout currently includes a kitchen, rear lobby, and cloakroom, with two additional rooms upstairs, offering a fantastic foundation for your dream home.
This is your chance to transform a piece of history into a bespoke home tailored to your vision. With its stunning architecture, generous outdoor space, and idyllic location, this former chapel offers endless possibilities for those seeking a unique and characterful residence.
Planning ref: P/ful/024/04434. An amended application is in process to change the layout to four bedrooms.
Situation
The Chapel is located in the heart of Hazelbury Bryan and the village offers a range of facilities including church, traditional country pub, primary school and post office store, whilst the nearby market town Sturminster Newton is located on the banks of the River Stour in the beautiful Blackmore Vale. Sturminster offers amenities including a range of artisan and independent shops, a Primary and a Secondary School, Church, Health Centre, Dentists and a Leisure Centre. Built on the site of the old cattle market, The Exchange is an award winning multi-purpose building offering a community/arts centre. The 17th Century water Mill was brought back to life during ‘lockdown’ to mill flour. Additional nearby towns of Blandford (9 miles), Sherborne (12 miles), provide a further range of shops and the South Coast (27 miles) is approximately 1⁄2 hour by car. Gillingham and Sherborne offer a mainline railway station. With services to London Waterloo and the West Country and the A30 and the A303 provide good road communications.
