THE CHAPEL is set in the hamlet of Steensbridge bounded by open fields with lovely views over the undulating countryside of North Herefordshire. It is about 3 miles from Leominster, 9 Bromyard, 10 Ludlow, 15 Hereford and 23 Worcester. The present owners have converted this former Victorian chapel, which we understand was built in circa 1880, to a spacious character house while saving the original features. The original brick building was of cavity wall construction under a slate roof and has a damp proof course, double glazing in timber frames in the original chapel style, arched openings and roof insulation. Mains gas central heating from a combi-boiler to radiators with thermostats. The floors in the hall, kitchen and utility are of Chinese slate, the upstairs floors are reclaimed pine board, reclaimed wooden mule posts, banisters and wrought iron insets to the stairs, new fitted carpets in two bedrooms and on the stairs. The feature of the house is the first floor sitting room which has a large oak frame circular window, cast iron spiral staircase and minstral style gallery. From most windows there are views over open fields. Outside there is a large brick pavioured car parking area and gardens bounded on two sides by reclaimed brick walls.
