Grade-II* listed former chapel teeming with character

This impressive former chapel has been meticulously restored by the current owner, the highly lauded interior designer, Peggy Prendeville. The original oak panelling and flooring and the beautiful stained-glass windows, a solid spiral staircase and soaring ceiling heights add a sense of grandeur and character to this exceptionally rare home.
The large open plan kitchen/diner and reception space is perfect for modern busy families, equally a magnificent space for entertaining on a grand scale. The fully-fitted kitchen features a 4.5 metre long x 0.7 metre deep granite worktop and a grand oak breakfast bar made from the original altar. There is ample space in the open-plan ground floor for a large dining table and sitting room area. Parquet floors and original stained glass windows are overlooked by the mezzanine and there is also a separate study and an ensuite bedroom located on this floor.
On the first floor mezzanine there are two further bedrooms which have shared use of a family bathroom and a dressing room. The generously proportioned principal suite unfolds over the second floor mezzanine and features a freestanding bathtub.
The Chapel is positioned in the heart of fashionable Camberwell, which has been experiencing regentrification since 2015. Close by to Camberwell Green with a vast array of restaurants, bars, and independent shops, a vibrant hotspot for young professionals and young families. There are well respected nurseries and schools both locally and nearby. The Chapel overlooks Myatt's Fields which includes tennis courts, a cafe and a children's playground and splash pool.
