Property description

A detached five bedroom former Baptist chapel, with a landscaped wraparound garden, a double garage and driveway parking, situated in the village of Cogenhoe and for sale with no upper chain.

The chapel was built in 1910, and was thoughtfully converted and extended in 2017 to create over 3,450 sq. ft. of contemporary accommodation. Original arched timber doors open to an entrance hall with double doors to the triple aspect sitting/dining room which measures 41 ft. x 29’2 ft. and has space for a study area and a 12 seater dining table. A dual aspect log burner with adjacent double doors divides the sitting/dining room from the kitchen/breakfast room. Also on the ground floor is a shower room and a utility room which provides further appliance space and storage. There is porcelain tiled flooring with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room

The kitchen/breakfast is fitted with a comprehensive range of units with granite worksurfaces incorporating a sink and drainer with a hose mixer tap. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, a wine fridge, twin eye level ovens, a warming drawer and microwave. The matching central island provides more storage, has pop-up power sockets and a five ring gas hob with a ceiling extractor over. A solid timber breakfast bar seats six and there is a space for an American style fridge/freezer which is available by separate negotiation if desired. Bifold doors open to the terrace and garden giving an excellent flow through internal and external space for modern life and entertaining.

First Floor

The first floor galleried landing has a vaulted ceiling, an original stained glass feature window and space for seating. The principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom and bifold doors to a balcony which overlooks the garden and can also be accessed by bedroom two which has an en suite. There are two further double bedrooms both with en suites and fifth bedroom which is currently used as an office. The first floor can also accessed via a secondary staircase in the kitchen/breakfast room.

Outside

The property has a plot of approximately 0.2 acres with a brick walled boundary. Double wrought iron gates give access to a driveway providing parking for three cars and leading to a double garage. The wrap around garden is mainly laid to lawn with a raised bed for flowers or vegetables, a garden shed, an outside tap and several woodstores. There are three paved terraces with outisde lighting and power, ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining.

Purchaser Compliance & Administration Fee

To comply with the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017, Michael Graham is legally mandated to conduct compulsory Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Customer Due Diligence (CDD) checks on all property buyers. While we do not charge a commission fee to the property vendor, a mandatory compliance and administration fee of £54.00 (inclusive of VAT) per person is payable by the purchaser(s). This non-refundable fee covers the cost of third-party electronic identity verification, source of funds auditing, and the associated regulatory administration. This fee becomes payable upon an offer being accepted in principle and must be fully cleared before a Memorandum of Sale can be issued or solicitors instructed. The payment of this fee does not guarantee the completion of the transaction, and Michael Graham reserves the right to request further verification documentation to satisfy its statutory obligations.
