A truly unique property, one like no other…
This converted Chapel is steeped in both character and history. Built in 1888
it started life as a working men’s chapel before being taken over by the
Congregationalists serving as a place of congregation and worship. Later in
life it was used for Men’s Bible class, Sunday school, a youth club and local
boys brigade until in the 1970’s when it was first converted in to a family
home.
Needless to say the property has changed many times over the years since and
in 2007 underwent major renovations throughout with the addition of a studio
room, a balcony, installation of central heating, and addition and upgrading
of windows, stairs and doors.
Despite its renovation and transformation in to a family home it still
maintains many of the original features and is finished and presented in a
style that is sympathetic to the property’s age and history…. It is even
rumoured there is a time capsule behind one of the memorial stones to the
front of the property, one by Harold Wills, owner of the tobacco company, and
the other by Handel Cosham, owner of the local Bristol mines.
In its current form the property houses all four bedrooms on the ground floor
with the huge open plan reception and kitchen occupying the entirety of the
first floor. The bedrooms are all fair in size and each boasts a mezzanine
level. In addition to housing all four bedrooms the bathroom and studio can
also be found on the ground floor. The bathroom is generous in size and could
be reconfigured to offer a shower cubicle. The studio is a large and versatile
space that could be used as additional reception space, an office or even be
converted in to an annexe.
The real centre piece to this property is the hub of the home; the open plan
reception, it measures over 36ft in length and 22ft in width offering an
abundance of space. With its triple aspect the room is also far from short of
natural light, furthermore the ceiling is fully vaulted; really adding to the
character and style of the property. The walls and ceiling are adorned with
beautiful oak beams and trim, again complementing the property but also the
exposed wood flooring. The kitchen area, although open to the rest of the room
maintains some sense of separation with its layout and configuration The wall
and base units are solid timber and topped with a wooden work top, as is the
island. As is the kitchen offers a double electric oven, four ring gas hob, a
Belfast sink and plumbing for either a washing machine or dishwasher.
Outside there is a terrace balcony which is accessed via the reception space,
a courtyard and a large rear garden currently divided in to two sections. The
garden is enclosed and private and although in need of landscaping it offers
so much potential, furthermore with the space on offer it creates the
opportunity to extend the property further.
Hinton Road is a quiet residential road at the heart of Greenbank. The house
is just a short walk from popular local shops and venues such as Este’s
Kitchen and The Greenbank Pub, whilst also being well - placed for families due
to its proximity to both May Park Primary School and Whitehall Primary, both
well - regarded schools.
