The ground floor is dominated by a gorgeous open-plan living room. New LED lighting throughout. You will also find a large Jydepejsen Elegance log burning stove for those cold, winter evenings.

Accessible from both the kitchen and the open plan living room there is a fabulous private courtyard space, perfect for entertaining. When you step outside it’s like sitting in an old ruin, with exposed brickwork and three beautiful leaded windows.

There is a secure gated southeast facing private garden to the front of the property accessed by double doors off the open plan living space. This comprises of both lawn and a large decking area for seating and dining.

With three double bedrooms and a luxurious family bathroom on the first floor. The Bathroom has all Arcade fittings - walk-in shower, bath and tap fittings.

The property meets all practical needs with a downstairs w/c, utility room, and off-street parking on the block paved drive for two cars.

You’d expect a former place of worship to occupy a prime location in the heart of the community and sure enough, The Old Chapel is only a short walk to Hanslope village centre.

Hanslope has everything you’ll need on a day-to-day basis, with a Premier Store, a Chinese takeaway and two Pubs. There’s also a community hall and a popular recreation ground with a children's play area and both grass and artificial sports areas.

Hanslope has both a Pre-school and ofsted rated ‘Good’ Primary School.

If you’re looking for a greater choice of shops or places to eat, you’re spoiled for choice, with Northampton and Milton Keynes less than 20 minutes’ drive away.

It’s well connected via both rail and road, with M1 Junction 15 less than 15 minutes’ drive and 33 min direct train to London Euston from Milton Keynes station.

This is a fabulous example of how you can take an unusual building and make the most of its quirky charm, creating a superb modern home in the process.
