A tin chapel built for £140 more
than a century ago is on the
market for almost £400,000.

But the Methodist building in
Patrixbourne Road, Bridge, is a
far cry from the austere space it
once was after an extensive
two-year project to convert it
into a luxury home.

It retains its period oak
floorboards, but the nave has
been transformed into a huge
open-plan kitchen and main
reception room with a large
mezzanine.

 

How chapel once looked

The property is being sold
through Strutt and Parker.
Agent Edward Church said:

Tin chapel new heavenly home

"These chapels were very simply
built with the focus on space to ‘
congregate. They were not
ostentatious buildings."

The Bridge Chapel was not
given funding centrally as there
were calls for it to be a brick
building, so locals raised the
£140 to build it from tin.

Mr Church said: "These
chapels were one of the
original kit buildings. and the
corrugated ones were erected
in large numbers, but few
survive."
