Description - Halls are delighted with instructions to offer Saron Chapel, Craigllwyn, nr Oswestry for sale by private treaty.
Saron Chapel is a particularly fine example of a converted country chapel. Believed to date to circa 1850, the living accommodation has been carefully crafted to now serve as a stylish and characterful family home, with, internally, the property now enjoying over 1,300 sq ft of tastefully presented and flexibly arranged rooms which marries the historic charm of the property's ecclesiastical heritage with a functional convenience ideal for day to day living.
The property nestles within generous gardens which rise to the rear and provide panoramic views across the open countryside which unfolds to the south, whilst comprising ample driveway parking for a number of vehicles, attractively arranged floral beds, and an elevated decked seating area which capitalises on the scenery beyond. Notably, the gardens also feature a bespoke timber outbuilding, currently utilised as a home office but with scope for a variety of onward usages.

The Property - The property is principally accessed from the east into an Entrance Porch formed from the traditional vestibule, this opening into a gloriously open-plan Living/Dining space featuring a multi-fuel burner and full-height vaulted ceilings with a range of exposed timbers, which afford the room a particularly light and spacious ambience.
Positioned to the rear of the ground floor are two well proportioned Bedrooms, one with a window overlooking the front elevation and the second enjoying a door which exits to the rear, with both rooms served by a family Shower Room comprising an attractive white suite with walk in shower.
Slightly separated from the living space by a half-flight of stairs is a fully integrated and modernised Kitchen which boasts a stylish selection of base and wall units so designed to complement the rural nature of the property, with classical worktops and a breakfast bar, alongside double-opening doors which exit to the rear and allow the room a seamless transition to the external space.
Stairs continue to rise to a mezzanine galleried landing which presently serves as an office space with views over the ground floor, but which could readily serve as a fourth Bedroom or secondary Reception space.
