No Chain!! This most unusual property was originally used as a coach house and stable and later converted into a religious retreat for the Community of St Francis, which was used by the Franciscan Sisters for over 30 years. The property was then redeveloped into a five bedroom main residence and adjoining three bedroom annexe. Some wonderful features include an impressive dining room which we understand was used as a chapel by the Franciscan Sisters and provides a calm ambience on entry. The master suite provides a fabulous arrangement of master bedroom with vaulted beamed ceiling and feature exposed brick fireplace and open fire, and adjoining bathroom and dressing room. From the main hallway, stairs lead to a lower ground floor with cloisters, workshop and gym. The conservatory is well placed to overlook the garden with it's mature trees and shrubs. The annexe offers three bedrooms all with ensuite shower rooms in addition to a ground floor bathroom. All of this set on a site of just under an acre with a detached garage and additional ample parking for numerous vehicles including space for a caravan, motorhome etc. This is a most versatile property oozing with character and special features offering living opportunities for many different circumstances and a superb opportunity for different generations of a family wanting to live together. Alternatively, the annexe could be utilised to provide a useful rental income.
