Steeped in history and full of charm, The Old Chapel is a beautifully converted detached period home dating back to circa 1882, believed to have been sympathetically converted during the early 2000s.

Quietly positioned on a peaceful no‐through road, yet just a short distance from the heart of the village, this unique four‐bedroom residence blends characterful architecture with generous, flexible living accommodation.

The property retains many heritage features synonymous with its late-Victorian chapel origins, most notably the striking arched chapel windows, while offering well‐proportioned family living arranged over two floors.

Property Description

Ground Floor

The property is entered via a welcoming entrance hall, setting the tone for the quality found throughout.

The main living room is an impressive space, enhanced by the chapel’s original proportions and character details, creating a warm and atmospheric environment ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.

A second reception room, currently utilised as and office but could also be bedroom four, offers excellent flexibility and is ideal for guests, home working or multigenerational living. This room is well positioned alongside a modern ground‐floor shower room, providing convenient facilities without the need for stairs.

The kitchen/dining area is well arranged, offering ample storage and workspace including an island while remaining sympathetic to the character of the building. The dining area can comfortably fit a large dining table and has doors opening to the garden.

A utility room offers further storage along with plumbing and electrics for washing and drying, an ideal space to keep the laundry away from the main home.

The layout lends itself well to modern family use while maintaining the individuality of the home.

First Floor

A stunning gallery landing overlooks the hall and offers access to;
Three well‐proportioned, double bedrooms, including a generous main bedroom benefitting from a private en‐suite bathroom. A further family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, providing excellent facilities for family living and guests alike.

The upper floor layout makes excellent use of the chapel’s original structure, creating comfortable rooms with characterful detailing and a sense of space.

Outside

The property sits within gardens that wrap around the chapel, offering excellent outdoor space with areas of lawn and mature planting. The plot offers potential to create off‐road parking (subject to the necessary consents), adding further appeal and practicality. The gardens provide a peaceful and private setting, perfectly complementing the quiet road position.

Location

Set on Burston Road, a quiet no‐through lane, The Old Chapel enjoys a tranquil village setting while remaining conveniently close to local amenities. The village centre is within easy reach, while the nearby market town of Diss offers a wider range of shops, schooling and a mainline railway station with connections to London, Norwich and Ipswich.

The surrounding countryside offers a wide range of peaceful routes for family walks and cycling, while the neighbouring villages of Scole and Burston offer some of the finest cuisine in the East of England.
