Built in 1846, Capel Ffynnon is a superb example of 19th century architecture. This exceptionally large, magnificent converted Methodist chapel is situated on the west Wales coast and surrounded by the beautiful countryside of Cardigan Bay. The chapel, which is Grade II listed, sits centrally in two thirds of an acre of professionally landscaped gardens packed with quality trees and shrubs. The plot measures 26,650 sq. ft. (2480m2) and the chapel provides a huge total living space of 2640 sq. ft. (245m2).

The property comprises 4 bedrooms, (3 of which are extremely large, 2 also being en-suite), 3 bathrooms, exceptionally large lounge/dining room, kitchen, utility, conservatory, mezzanine study/office. A staircase leads to a huge top floor room which is full height, fully boarded and has exposed beams. It measures 32′ 6″ x 19′ 6″ (10m x 6m) and would be a very easy conversion project. (Bedrooms 5 & 6 with bathroom, playroom, studio.)

This is a truly unique property, few of which come onto the market. Viewing is essential.

The chapel has been completely redecorated inside and out by the present owners and transformed into a fabulous residence. An impressive entrance through new wrought iron gates leads into a large gravelled area which has space to park 8+ cars easily. There is a large garage and the property has an alarm system. The chapel is completely enclosed (totally safe for young children and dogs) and has an intercom system at the gates for visitors.
