The Old Methodist Chapel, Minorca Hill, Laxey
Description
Steeped in history and beautifully transformed, The Old Methodist Chapel is an exceptional home offering over 5,000 sq ft of stunning accommodation in an elevated position on Minorca Hill, Laxey. Originally rebuilt in 1870 as the Minorca Primitive Methodist Chapel, the building played an important role in the local community for almost a century before closing in 1966. Today it has been sympathetically restored and renovated to an exceptional standard, retaining many of its original architectural features whilst seamlessly blending modern luxury with period character. Arranged over three spacious floors, the property offers remarkably flexible accommodation with impressive ceiling heights, an abundance of natural light and breathtaking views across the surrounding countryside towards the sea. The welcoming entrance hall leads to a cloakroom and inner hallway, where you’ll find a beautifully fitted contemporary dining kitchen together with two generous double bedrooms, both benefiting from stylish en suite shower rooms. A second staircase leads to a cosy snug and an additional en suite bedroom, whilst stairs descend to a substantial utility room incorporating a second kitchen, ideal for entertaining, guest accommodation or multi-generational living, with direct access to the outside. The first floor is undoubtedly the heart of the home, where a magnificent galleried landing showcases the chapel’s original character and enjoys spectacular views. From here, the impressive open-plan living, dining and kitchen space creates a wonderful area for everyday family life and entertaining, with large windows framing stunning sea views. A further spacious double bedroom with a luxurious en suite completes this floor. The property offers generous off-road parking and a lawned garden.
