A charming three-bedroom converted chapel - that has its own graveyard.
(Image: Rightmove)A charming three-bedroom converted chapel has hit the market for £900,000 - but it has one interesting catch. The 200-year-old property in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, has its own graveyard. Sold online by Trend & Thomas, the former chapel, now turned into a private residence, was originally built in 1856.
The Victorian structure of the house offers unique features, including vaulted ceilings, the original stained-glass windows and bell, and a front garden packed with over 50 headstones. A spokesperson for Trend & Thomas said: "It's an amazing conversion and a stunning building. It has an actual churchyard, which may seem weird, but the neighbours are very quiet! People who come to view the property love it - and find it quite astonishing. But there are a few who get spooked by the sight of headstones and its long history."
Despite the property's eerie front view - not for the faint-hearted - the interior brings a spectacle of colour and vibrancy with its extravagant decore and pattern-tiled flooring.

The room provides access to a mezzanine floor, which is typically a half-level or intermediate floor above, often open or overlooking the space below.

The listing of the former chapel describes an "extremely spacious 35' reception room and kitchen offering plenty of light" through stained-glass windows.

The 1,743sq ft property has high, arched ceilings, which are often seen in churches or chapels. These ceilings create a sense of space and openness, making the room feel larger and more airy.
It offers ample space for storing belongings, including closets, cabinets, or other storage areas that provide practical storage solutions.
