WITH some imagination and a good bit of work, this Grade-II listed chapel has been converted into a breath-taking home.
It may still look like an old chapel, but once you step foot inside you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d walked into a movie set.
On the market for £1,595,000 The Old Chapel has been converted into a unique and eye-catching family home without losing any of its character.
It is part of a gated development set within the landscaped grounds of the former Stapehill Abbey, which was the home of the Holy Cross Abbey order of Cistercian Trappist nuns from 1802 to 1991.
