A Grade II listed Wesleyan Chapel in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, originally built in 1858, has been transformed into a stunning modern home that surprises with its eclectic interior design. From the outside, the stone chapel appears beautifully preserved, but inside, it reveals a visually arresting fusion of Victorian character and contemporary style.
A Conversion That Preserves Grandeur
The main chapel space soars three storeys high into the exposed roof structure, avoiding the common mistake of carving up the large proportions into small rooms. The interior design leans into an unexpected mix of Scandinavian minimalism and vintage pieces, creating what could be called 'eclectic ecclesiastic' style.
Flexible Living Spaces
The property offers approximately 3,231 square feet of adaptable accommodation. The ground floor features an open-plan main hall with a height of about 35 feet, a sleek breakfast kitchen with central island and gas hob, and a zoned dining and living room that can be closed off via a quirky wall of old doors for more intimate gatherings.
There are three bedrooms, including a principal suite with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, two family bathrooms, a separate utility room, and a quiet library nook on the mezzanine landing. An additional space at the top of the chapel could serve as a home office or storage.
Village Life in St Florence
Located in the sought-after village of St Florence, near Tenby, the chapel is surrounded by traditional Welsh charm, with stone cottages, winding lanes, and a village green. The village offers a local shop, two pubs, a school, and a village hall hosting community events. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path provides easy access to stunning coastal views.
The chapel is on the market for offers in the region of £550,000 with Luxury Welsh Homes. For more information, call 01834 818076.
