With Annex Potential, Whitechapel Road, Bream, Lydney, Gloucestershire Gl15 6 Lr

The fondly remembered former Breams Eaves Methodist chapel was, in its era, a lively well attended community gathering place that from 1858 to 1991 was an intrinsic part of the social history of Bream and the Forest. Converted to a 4/5 bedroom dwelling around 2017, the property maintains a warm welcoming atmosphere and peaceful ambiance, extending to approx 2437sqft. It is a spacious well-appointed family home with an abundance of character, lovely original stone work, arched chapel doors and windows and dramatic exposed roof structure. The accommodation is flexible, a generous reception hall, an impressive sitting room and large kitchen. There are ground and first floor bedrooms and bathrooms. There is potential to create a separate annex/suite with a little investment. The view from the attractive well organised garden is spectacular. There is ample parking space. Cornerstone is a unique property steeped in history, a terrific family home.
