Chapel MansionA Majestic Architectural Conversion on the Fylde Coast A landmark residence of rare distinction, Chapel Mansion is a masterclass in architectural transformation — a former church now reimagined as an extraordinary four-bedroom, four-bathroom home of striking scale and style. At its heart lies an awe-inspiring main lounge that must be seen to be believed — a breathtaking space of soaring proportions, exposed brickwork, and cathedral-like grandeur. Complemented by an indulgent master suite with its own lounge, freestanding bath, mezzanine gallery, and dual dressing rooms, the property also features a private indoor swimming pool, multiple entertaining zones, and secluded roof and courtyard terraces — all securely tucked away behind electric gates in one of the Fylde Coast’s most unforgettable homes. A Grand Welcome Set well back behind electric gates, the property boasts a commanding presence with an expansive frontage and generous private parking. The landscaped approach sets the tone for what lies beyond — a home that has been lovingly restored and reimagined with craftsmanship and purpose. Solid oak flooring, bespoke handcrafted doors, and statement feature windows provide an immediate sense of quality and style from the moment you step inside. The Reception Wing The entrance hallway leads into a beautiful reception hall, where symmetry and scale are perfectly balanced. From here, two spacious ground-floor double bedrooms are accessed, along with a sleek three-piece shower room and a versatile home office — ideal for those seeking to work or study from home in peaceful surroundings. A private staircase rises from this wing to the exceptional master suite, creating a sense of division and retreat. The Great Room – A Space of Pure Theatre Through twin sets of double doors lies the heart of the home — a truly awe-inspiring central living space, once the nave of the church, now reimagined as a breathtaking family lounge. With double-height ceilings, exposed brickwork, and towering feature windows, the room radiates drama and tranquillity in equal measure. It is a rare space — both grand and inviting — with open-plan flow into a bespoke kitchen area, creating the ideal backdrop for entertaining or relaxing. The view from this space continues through to the spectacular indoor swimming pool beyond — giving glimpses of the lifestyle that lies ahead. The Cosy Lounge For moments of quiet retreat, the ground floor also includes a more intimate lounge space — perfect for reading, relaxing, or unwinding by the fire. This snug, cocooned room contrasts beautifully with the grandeur of the main living space, offering warmth and comfort in equal measure. Bar & Dining Room – Entertain in Style Just off the main living area sits the home’s dedicated dining and bar room — a sociable, stylish setting designed for entertaining. Whether hosting evening drinks or family dinners, the space flows effortlessly into one of the private courtyards and provides internal access to the pool complex, making it an ideal year-round entertaining hub. Indoor Pool Complex The indoor pool is a luxury centrepiece — an exceptional 12-metre by 5-metre pool, approximately 5.5 feet in depth, housed in a dedicated space with views back toward the great room and easy access to the adjacent courtyard. This private and luxurious addition elevates the lifestyle offering of Chapel Mansion, whether used for fitness, fun, or peaceful relaxation. The Master Suite – A Home Within a Home Accessed via its own private staircase from the reception hall, the master suite occupies a separate wing and feels more like a boutique retreat than a bedroom. A generous landing leads to a private WC and onward into a spectacular lounge area, complete with freestanding bath and a stunning mezzanine balcony overlooking the main family lounge below. The master bedroom itself is serene and elegant, with a striking arched feature window and dual walk-in dressing rooms — one for him, one for her — ensuring luxury and practicality go hand in hand. Second First-Floor Bedroom Suite Accessed via a separate staircase from the great room, a further spacious double bedroom awaits on the first floor. This light-filled suite features its own en-suite bathroom and a dramatic arched window that honours the building’s original architecture. The upper landing on this level also includes a stylish three-piece shower room and leads directly to the property’s elevated roof terrace. The Private Roof Terrace – A Hidden Gem One of the home’s most unexpected delights is the private roof terrace — a beautifully designed space created for outdoor living and entertaining. Elevated and secluded, the terrace features artificial grass, composite decking, and modern Venetian-style screening with integrated planters, providing both style and privacy. This inviting space offers the perfect setting for summer evenings, with ample room for dining, relaxing, and social gatherings under the stars, making it a true sanctuary in the sky. Private Courtyards & Additional Features This exceptional home benefits from two distinct courtyard spaces. One is accessible directly from the kitchen — perfect for morning coffee or al fresco dining — while the second is accessible via both the bar/dining room and the pool room, offering privacy and versatility. A secure brick-built storage outbuilding with metal shutter provides further practicality. Every detail has been considered in the design of this unique property — from the hand-crafted joinery and bespoke fittings to the careful retention of character and symmetry from the building’s original use.

Previously operated as a premium Airbnb and exclusive holiday let, the property has demonstrated income figures in excess of £100,000 per annum, with a potential yield of 15% to 20% — placing it firmly in the top tier of lifestyle investments on the coast.
