Derelict chapel converted into stunning home

This once-derelict chapel has been transformed into a striking new home by architects Craftworks.

There was strong local opinion about how the long-abandoned structure should be retained, so the designers struck a balance by keeping the outer shell and digging out a lower level in order to create a dramatic new interior.

Triangular rooflights in the simple pitched roof give the only hint to what’s inside.

The lower ground floor houses four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a study, while the original level has been given over in its entirety to an open-plan kitchen diner, which is flooded with natural light from the overhead glazing and thin arched windows that continue along the length of the building.
