Suspended dramatically, a biofuel fireplace creates a captivating focal point, perfect for cosy evenings and relaxed entertaining.

The accommodation comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms and three bathrooms, two of which are en-suite, offering both comfort and privacy for residents and guests alike, making The Old Chapel perfect for a main home, additional residence or a very successful holiday let. Each space has been carefully designed to complement the character of the building while delivering modern convenience.

Outside, the property enjoys its own private garden, along with access to approximately two and a half acres (STMS) of beautifully maintained communal grounds within the former Old Vicarage estate. These enchanting surroundings include woodland walks, sweeping lawns, tranquil ponds and a charming walled garden – creating a truly idyllic setting.

Description
Local Information
The pretty village of Walsingham attracts pilgrims, artists, birdwatchers and those seeking a slower pace of life.
The village has many fine period cottages, offers good local shopping including a vibrant farm shop, and has a popular restaurant, a good pub and a primary school. It is well known throughout the country as a religious centre with pilgrimages to the Anglian Shrine and Slipper Chapel at nearby Houghton St Giles.
Nearby is wonderful Wells! With its sandy beach and pretty candy-striped huts, it’s easy to understand why this sleepy coastal town is a Mecca for day trippers and holiday makers, but there are plenty of reasons to make Wells-next-the-Sea your permanent home and explore this sweet spot forever.
There are plenty of ways to explore the waterways that surround the area. For a nautical adventure, jump aboard one of the Coastal Exploration Company’s traditional wooden sailing boats and adventure hidden creeks, marshes and open sea. Or test your balance with a stand-up paddle boarding session with Barefoot SUP.
The lanes behind the harbour and surrounding the town have plenty of tucked-away fishermen’s cottages which are highly sought after, as are apartments with sea views in the converted buildings overlooking the harbour. Head out of the town centre to discover plenty of spacious, grand houses along with fantastic new-build developments which are ideal for young families and downsizers alike. With a bustling community, the town is well-serviced with a primary and secondary schools, plus a GP surgery and library.
