Description
Constructed in c.1840 as a Bible Christian Chapel, this attractive chapel is situated within the heart of the excellent community-oriented village of Brent Knoll. The property is notably not listed, built with rendered rubble stone walls and stone dressings under a pantile roof plus a striking Georgian style porch. There is a delightful outlook overlooking a field opposite which is privately owned and the owner permits use for the community.
The interior principally comprises the chapel and an attached former schoolroom, both boasting superb double-height ceilings and tall windows bringing in ample natural light. The whole extends to around 1,366 sq.ft. including a balconied gallery within the chapel. There is a central entrance hall with room off, and a kitchen and WC area to the rear. There is plenty of off-street parking to the front which is the total extent of the curtilage.
The chapel offers fantastic potential to be converted into a residential dwelling or other uses such as offices, studio, or maybe a nursery.
Situation
Brent Knoll is one of Somerset's most desirable villages located within the north of the county with a countryside aspect while benefitting the convenience of excellent road networks nearby. The village has a wonderful sense of community with a community shop, primary school, and pub. There is an active village hall and church as well as clubs including tennis, and playing fields. The village lies at the foot of the knoll it is named after, which is an outlier of the Mendhip hills, where far-reaching panoramic views can be enjoyed. The village is also only a few miles from the Bristol channel and the seaside towns of Burnham-on-Sea and Weston-super-Mare. The M5 is accessible within only a few minutes drive providing fast networks to the south Bridgewater, Taunton and Exeter, and the north with Bristol, Bath and the M4 to Wales. The nearest train station Highbridge & Burnham has frequent city services including Bristol.
Additional Information
Although presently a long leasehold title (thought to be 999 years), it has been suggested that it might be possible for this to be converted to freehold if desired. Mains water, electricity, drainage and gas are connected. Heating is providing by gas boiler and radiators.
