A LOCAL property that once featured on Grand Designs has been put up for sale with a price tag of £825,000.

This one of a kind converted gothic chapel in Much Birch appeared on Channel Four’s Grand Designs in 2008 when viewers saw how Jo and Shaun Bennett built an Addams Family style Gothic house with a £400,000 budget.

The property boasts a turret, high vaulted ceilings, stained glass windows, chapel style windows and intricate carved timber bannisters. There are five double bedrooms arranged over the first and second floors, as well as an impressive office-library to the first floor.

One of the most impressive parts of the house is undoubtedly the living-dining room. This incredible space has been thoughtfully designed and offers an atmosphere reminiscent of a chapel, with stained glass window and, with high vaulted ceiling looking up to the galleried library above.

There is an impressive stone fireplace, exposed beams, windows to front and rear aspect and steps down to a spacious dining area. To the far end of the room opposite the kitchen is a breakfast area, which is located within the hexagonal turret, and offers a triple aspect through chapel style windows over the countryside views beyond the property boundary.

The property is located in a plot of approximately one third of an acre, with the principal garden areas to the rear of the house which have been thoughtfully designed, with pathways meandering through seating areas.

Along with an ornamental footbridge there are numerous useful features outside, including a Nordic hut, greenhouse, garden shed, patio, lawned area and a space dedicated to vegetable growing with raised beds, a gated driveway with ample parking and a detached double garage to the front.

The house is available through the selling agents Chancellors, quoting reference number: 5667774.
