Property Summary
Exceptional townhouse within a unique conversion of a Grade II Listed late 19th Century Chapel. A truly stunning combination of skilful restoration with contemporary style. Set in a glorious position on the fringe of the historic market town of Abergavenny. The Rose is one of six converted dwellings within the chapel which beautifully captures the character of the original building. Pen Y Fal Chapel was built in the late 19th century to serve the patients and staff of the nearby hospital. Constructed of bull-nosed red sandstone with a tall slate roof, the chapel is cruciform in plan with a stunning octagonal fleche at the crossing. Architectural elements of the original building are on display wherever possible, flaunting arched stained glass windows, hewn stonework and an incredible wooden vaulted ceiling.Full Details

Stairs rise to the first floor where there is a fantastic open plan living area incorporating a cool, contemporary kitchen featuring handleless matt finish cupboards with solid work surfaces, NEFF integrated appliances and flush fitting ambient LED lighting. This tremendous room could be a blank canvass where your perfect living area can be created. Stepping up on the westerly aspect is an integrated door in the rose window, which leads out onto a private balcony, perfect for sitting out and enjoying the unrivalled far reaching mountain views.
