DESCRIPTION

Description
A rare opportunity to purchase a wonderful former chapel, converted
by the current owners some 28 years ago, retaining many
ecclesiastical features. The Chapel is understood to date from
1884, and served the Watts Naval Training School, run by Barnados.
This school was closed in 1953, the main school building was
demolished, and The Chapel used for a variety of agricultural
purposes before being acquired and converted by the current owners.
The property stands in around six acres within the idyllic rural
setting of County School, the grounds include formal areas of lawn,
woodland, and a meadow which runs down to the River Wensum.
Internally this impressive home was carefully designed to ensure
that as much of the original building could be retained resulting
in a tremendous 53' first floor reception room, with high, vaulted
timber ceiling, leading to a decorative stone window through which
doors lead onto a balcony. Elsewhere in this spacious home you will
find exposed decorative stonework, as well as pillars, and further
stone windows, many of which are leaded.
The versatile accommodation currently provides six bedrooms, with
five being on the ground floor, and an unusual master bedroom with
en-suite to the first floor, a welcoming Reception Hall leads to a
well proportioned Dining Room, from which double doors lead to the
Conservatory, the Kitchen houses an Aga. Further accommodation is
provided by the detached three bedroom annexe.

The Chapel itself, and accessed via a gate is a parking area, which
also gives access to the garaging housed on the ground floor of the

a further garden store. The gardens alongside The Chapel, are laid
to wide sweeping lawns, and lead down to the woodland, passing a
useful range of outbuildings, providing further dry storage, and a
workshop. Within the lawns to the easterly aspect is a paved sun
terrace incorporating an ornamental pond, which makes an ideal
barbeque area. Also to this aspect is a green house and an area of
orchard with apple, pear and plum trees.
The wide belt of woodland has numerous mature trees, and various
paths lead through this area to the meadow. This meadow runs down
to the River Wensum, and also includes a timber summerhouse, which
requires attention.
It should be noted that a right of way exists across this meadow,
for the use of the neighbouring properties at County School.
