Methodist Chapel
Originally converted into a small Methodist Chapel in 1862 and finally decommissioned a century later in the 1960s, this Cotswold cottage's life since as a holiday rental eventually took its toll, rendering it a bit sad, decrepit and lacking in soul.
​
By demolishing later structural partitions and devising a new compact bathroom on the flying mezzanine, the original worship space opened up. ... to gift a more generous living area. Then using a warm plaster and timber palette, with vintage furniture nodding to its ecclesiastical past, its lost vitality and spirit bounced back.
​
"Our simple goal to transform the chapel into a relaxing bolthole was actually more complex than we first imagined...
No surprises there then!
​
Cid's collaboration was critical... steering us through technical issues as well as aesthetic ones. So together we breathed
the mojo back into an honourable old building... and landed our country dream."
