Video Tour Inside - Daws Heath Road, Benfleet, SS7 2TF

Aspire Estate Agents are delighted to introduce this truly remarkable former chapel, originally built in the 1800s and beautifully transformed into an exceptional family home.

Set within an impressive semi-rural plot of approximately one third of an acre, this is a rare opportunity to own a genuine piece of local history, lovingly restored and thoughtfully modernised to create a home full of character, warmth and individuality.

From the moment you arrive, the charm of the property is undeniable. The attractive chapel façade, arched windows and original architectural features immediately set the tone for what lies within. Step through the entrance porch and into the grand hallway, where bespoke oak panelling, original floorboards and beautiful period detailing create an atmosphere that is both striking and welcoming.

The heart of the home is the stunning lounge, a generous and character-filled space enhanced by a vaulted ceiling, natural light and a wonderful sense of openness. The design perfectly celebrates the building’s history while offering the comfort and practicality required for modern family living.

The kitchen/diner is equally impressive, providing a superb space for everyday life and entertaining. With direct access out to the rear garden through French doors, this area has been designed to bring the outside in, creating a natural flow between the home and its beautiful surroundings. A separate utility room and guest shower room add further convenience.

The ground floor also offers excellent versatility, including a separate snug/playroom and a substantial home office, ideal for those working from home or requiring additional living space. Every part of the layout has been carefully considered to suit a range of lifestyles, whether that be family living, hosting guests or simply enjoying the peaceful setting.

The mezzanine level provides private access to the principal bedroom, creating a secluded retreat within the original structure of the chapel. This beautiful space benefits from excellent storage and a luxurious en-suite bathroom, offering a calm and elegant sanctuary away from the main living areas.

To the first floor, there are three further well-proportioned bedrooms, each offering comfort and flexibility, along with a spacious family bathroom serving the upper level.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The formal gardens are mature, private and beautifully established, with trees, shrub borders and a peaceful setting that perfectly complements the character of the home. A raised veranda/terrace provides an ideal area for outdoor dining, relaxing or entertaining, while the substantial garden room/storage unit and former stable offer excellent additional space and potential for a variety of uses.

The plot itself is a standout feature, offering a wonderful sense of privacy and space rarely found in such a convenient location. To the front, the property benefits from a low-maintenance landscaped garden and block-paved driveway, enhancing both practicality and kerb appeal.

The location is equally appealing, positioned close to Little Havens Nature Reserve and within reach of well-regarded local schools, shops and amenities. Benfleet and Rayleigh train stations are both approximately a 10-minute drive away, offering convenient links into London, while the A127 provides easy access to surrounding towns.

This is far more than just a home. It is a beautifully restored former chapel, rich in history, full of soul and completely unlike anything else on the market. A rare and special property that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
