A beautifully restored former chapel set in the heart of the South Downs National Park, Woodlands Chapel blends striking architectural heritage with stylish, character-filled living. With stained-glass windows, a bell tower, and breathtaking rural views.

Woodlands Chapel is a delightful and totally unique property, believed to date back to 1889, having been a rural chapel under the Portsmouth Diocese until 1982 and having since been lovingly restored and cared for by the current owners. With brick and flint elevations, and features including fabulous stained-glass windows and a bell tower, this home exudes character and historic charm.

Accommodation includes 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the first floor, and a further 4th bedroom on the ground floor which doubles up as a study. The principal reception room incorporates a sitting room and dining room with block flooring, log burner and a fabulous raised seating area (the former sanctuary) with a stained-glass triptych which bathes the area in reflected sunlight. This room adjoins a garden room which provides an excellent addition to the accommodation and affords access onto the garden. The kitchen / breakfast room houses a Neptune fitted kitchen with granite worktops and double doors onto the garden. Further ground floor accommodation includes a useful utility/boot room, downstairs w/c and boiler room.

Externally, the gardens and grounds are a particular feature of the property, with various terraced and paved areas ideal for al fresco entertainment, a range of beds and well stocked borders, and from all aspects enjoying spectacular rural views. A driveway provides off street parking and there is room for a garage if required, with professional drawings having been commissioned to provide an idea of layout and location.

Location
Woodlands is a charming and sought after hamlet located in the South Downs National Park, and not far from the market towns of Alresford and Petersfield. The property is surrounded by the beautiful countryside of the Meon Valley, providing wonderful walks and riding country and a link to the South Downs Way. A wider range of facilities are found at the nearby Georgian market town of Alresford offering various boutique shops, restaurants and retail outlets. The town is home to the famous Watercress Line which is a steam railway, being pretty historic and running through 10 miles of beautiful Hampshire countryside to Alton. For dog walkers and runners, there are stunning country walks in the South Downs National Park, many accessible directly from the house. Meanwhile, the South coast is only a 30-minute drive away - ideal for trips to the beach and sailing activities.
Communications by road and rail are good, with mainline rail services at Winchester to London Waterloo in approximately an hour. Junctions 9 and 10 of the M3 at Winchester connects with the M3 and M27 motorways to London and the south coast. Fast road access to London, the M25, the Midlands and West Country makes commuting easy.

The next steps...

Establish funds

How will you fund the purchase?

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
