Old All Saints Church has undergone a stunning conversion from Anglican chapel-of-ease, built in 1869, to a luxury holiday home, sleeping up to 6 guests. It is located in the pretty village of Horsmonden in the Weald of Kent, a countryside idyll surrounded by hop gardens, orchards and woodlands. The property has been sympathetically converted into a stunning dwelling, retaining its painted decoration to the chancel roof and offers a great example of polychrome brickwork and original arched stained glass windows. The open plan living area is spacious and has a magnificent double height, vaulted ceiling with glass doors to a comfy TV room and another subterranean snug. The bespoke staircase with glass panelling transports you to the three double bedrooms with the master, on the top floor, boasting a ensuite bathroom with far reaching views from the bathtub. Old All Saints Church has been beautifully styled and designed with different areas for relaxation or simply coming together as a family or group of friends for a great getaway in the beautiful Kent countryside. The property is more suited to adults and teenage children due to its design features. Pub: 0.8 miles Shop: 0.8 miles Beach: 29 miles
