A Spectacular Chapel Conversion with Award-Winning Design

Originally built in 1853, this former place of worship has been transformed into one of Malvern's most impressive homes. Once a thriving chapel at the heart of the community, it has now undergone a remarkable Grand Designs style conversion, creating a stunning blend of historic architecture and contemporary luxury. The property was recently recognised with the 2024 Malvern Civic Award, reflecting the exceptional quality of the renovation and the care taken to preserve its unique heritage.

The Chapel retains beautiful original features including soaring ceilings, triple aspect chapel windows and a striking spiral staircase. These sit alongside approximately 3,500 sq ft of modern, versatile accommodation set across three floors, all flooded with natural light and enjoying breathtaking views across the valley.

Designed to the very highest specification, highlights include underfloor heating powered by Stiebel Eltron heat pumps, a bespoke Hacker kitchen, Villeroy & Boch bathrooms and a cutting-edge Rako smart control system operating lighting, blinds, heating and integrated audio throughout the property.

Outside, the landscaped garden has been designed for low maintenance yet stylish living, with gravel tiers, planted borders and remote-controlled water features. A gravel driveway provides parking for three vehicles and leads to the original chapel doors, a striking reminder of the building's rich history and character.
