The space
At the heart of the beautiful, stone chapel is a Chimnee Phillipe 4 sided fireplace surrounded by oversized, super comfy sofas. We raised the original floors of the chapel to allow ocean views and additional room for the three bedrooms and bathrooms downstairs. There is a huge wool press dining table on the far side of the church with original church pews. Great for card/ board games. A leather recliner and well stocked library are in one corner and a poker table with stools in another. We have recently installed STARLINK wifi to the church as realise the importance of reliable, fast connectivity for our guests.
A new glass bridge extension was added on the upper level connecting the church to the new build nicknamed “the Sunday School”. Light filled with floor to ceiling glass an open plan kitchen/dining/casual living space opens onto a large rooftop deck via sliding doors. Well equipped kitchen with European appliances and integrated dishwasher, appliance cupboard with coffee machine, microwave etc. A bar with hydrotap with sparkling water, integrated bar fridge and dishdraw is by the casual kitchen living space complete with daybed with ocean views.
