Woodlands Chapel is a delightful and unique property built in 1889 as the chapel for the local Nicholson Estate. It has since been beautifully converted and modernised by the current owners, turning it into a truly individual home blending period character with modern comfort. With its striking brick and flint elevations, elegant stained-glass windows, and distinctive bell tower, this home radiates charm and a deep sense of history. It sits in a secluded, tranquil setting with lovely south/westerly views over fields, and is well-placed for the road network and access to Petersfield, Alton and Alresford.  The property offers versatile and well-presented accommodation across two floors. A heavy oak door opens to an enclosed porch and on into the welcoming entrance hall, where there is a cloakroom and boiler room. The fitted kitchen/breakfast room features a bespoke Neptune kitchen with granite worktops, an AGA and French doors to the garden, creating a perfect balance of style and practicality. A further fourth bedroom, currently used as a study, is ideal for flexible working or guest use. The impressive reception space is a real centrepiece, combining a sitting and dining area with original block flooring, a log burner, and a feature raised seating area, illuminated by a spectacular stained-glass triptych. Windows overlook the garden, and French doors open to the outside terrace. A passage leads to a light and airy garden room, with its own access to the garden. Oak stairs lead up to a spacious landing, where there is a modern shower room and views over the garden. The spacious main bedroom features twin built-in wardrobes, an en-suite bathroom with separate bath and shower, and far-reaching countryside views. There are two further double bedrooms, both having built-in wardrobes.  The gardens and grounds are a particular highlight, thoughtfully landscaped with terraced and paved areas ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. Well-stocked borders and vibrant beds provide seasonal colour, all set against the backdrop of sweeping countryside views. There is driveway parking, with space for a garage if desired - plans have already been professionally drawn up to show potential layout and siting. Woodlands is a sought-after hamlet nestled within the South Downs National Park, surrounded by the glorious countryside of the Meon Valley. The area offers outstanding walking, riding, and direct links to the South Downs Way. Nearby, the historic Georgian town of Alresford provides boutique shops, restaurants, and the famous Watercress Line heritage steam railway. Petersfield and Winchester are also within easy reach, both offering excellent amenities. For those seeking coastal escapes, the South Coast is just 30/40 minutes away, ideal for beach days and sailing. Travel connections are excellent, with mainline services from Winchester to London Waterloo in approximately an hour, and easy access to the M3, M27, M25 and wider road networks. The area is also well served by highly regarded schools, including Princes Mead Preparatory School, Winchester College, Portsmouth Grammar School, The Petersfield School, Churcher’s College, Bedales School, and Ditcham Park School.
