A rare opportunity to rent a unique detached former Baptist chapel dating from 1876 in the sought-after village of Bodenham and offering beautifully presented accommodation, generous outdoor space and a peaceful setting within easy reach of Salisbury.
Full of character and original charm, The Old Chapel centres around an impressive vaulted living room where exposed timber trusses, a woodburning stove and a mezzanine gallery create a striking yet comfortable living space. A beautiful stained-glass feature window serves as a reminder of the building's historic origins, while the abundance of natural light and generous proportions make this a wonderful home for both everyday living and entertaining.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and offers a flexible layout. On the ground floor there is a fitted kitchen, a good-sized utility room, the main reception room, a double bedroom, a shower room and a further single bedroom, currently used as a home office. Upstairs, accessed via the galleried landing, is the principal double bedroom with its own ensuite bathroom. The separation between the upstairs and downstairs bedrooms works particularly well for guests, whilst those working from home may appreciate the dedicated office space. Equally, the ground-floor single bedroom could easily be used as a nursery.
Outside, the property enjoys a large fully enclosed garden with lovely views across neighbouring meadowland, fields and woodland, creating a wonderfully private and tranquil environment. A summer house and adjoining store provide useful additional storage and outdoor space, while driveway parking is available for one vehicle.
The Old Chapel offers the best of both worlds, combining a rural feel with the convenience of city amenities close at hand. Countryside walks and cycle routes can be enjoyed directly from the doorstep, two popular village pubs are within walking distance, and both Salisbury District Hospital and New Hall Hospital are easily accessible. Regular bus services nearby provide convenient connections to Salisbury city centre and the railway station.
Pets will be considered and, with an enclosed garden, peaceful surroundings and an existing cat flap already in place, the property is likely to appeal to those looking for a genuinely pet-friendly home.
