From the owner

The Old Chapel, in the tiny village (pop.300) of Wing is an early 19th Century stone built Grade II listed Methodist Chapel sympathetically converted at the turn of the 21st Century to create a unique Modernist open plan house.

Winner of The George Phillips Award and featured in "Living Etc." magazine upon it's conversion in 2000.

Set in the rolling countryside of Rutland at the edge of a beautiful quiet conservation village overlooking the Chater Valley. You will feel immersed in nature as soon as you arrive. It's great for nature lovers, walkers and cyclists. You can reach Rutland Water on foot in one hour (car 5-20 mins depending upon which shore you seek). Red Kites, and many other varieties of birds fly overhead daily. On a quiet weekday you're as likely to see a horse outside as a car, but you still have the security of being in a village with people around. It's a very safe friendly village, off the beaten track, but everything Rutland and Stamford have to offer are within easy travelling distance.

!!NOT SUITABLE!! for children between mobile babies and age 8 for safety reasons. Babes in Arms and children age 8 plus welcome.

It is a (still) relatively undiscovered gem, a unique and delightful place to base yourself when visiting England's smallest county.

Discover Oakham have said about The Chapel: 'Had an amazing weekend stay in this beautiful property in Wing. Will definitely return and recommend'.

This property is open plan design – the only internal walls being around the Bathroom!

Check-in any day of the week. Check in is at 3.00pm, but may be available earlier on the day so if you're already in the area we'll let you know if it's ready early. Check out is by 10.00, but we can often offer a later checkout.

This property is ENTIRELY OPEN PLAN in design – the only internal walls being around the Bathroom!

Parking on unrestricted Village Road immediately outside. It has never been a problem in six years, but if it is, the owners are happy to make space available for one car on their driveway nextdoor.

Award winning Architect designed conversion of a Methodist Chapel, which was a place of worship for 150 years until being converted to a home in 2000 when it featured in 'LIVING ETC. MAGAZINE'.

It has been available to rent as a holiday home since late 2015.

The sympathetic modern conversion retains the original features such as the double height ceiling and arched windows meaning the space is very light and airy, perfect for a relaxing break.

At Ground Floor the Living / Kitchen / Dining Areas. An ‘L’ shaped sofa provides ample space for you to relax with freeview smart TV & blu-ray player to keep you entertained and a wood burning stove to add to the heat and the ambience of your stay. The main heating is provided by eco radiators. There is also a ceiling fan for hotter days.

The Kitchen area has a 4 plate electric hob together with both fan and conventional ovens, a large fridge/freezer, plenty of utensils, cutlery, saucepans, frying pan, and oven dishes. Not to mention the kettle, 4 slice toaster, microwave oven and cafetiere. There is a dishwasher below the sink and hidden away under the stairs is a washing machine.

The Dining Area has a table and chairs to seat four comfortably.

There is ample crockery, cutlery and glassware. A full inventory is emailed prior to your arrival so you are aware of what to expect from the kitchen contents. This is only to ensure that you do not duplicate any items by bringing them from home uneccessarily to hopefully help to reduce your luggage.

At the Mezzanine level there are two Bedroom areas and a Bathroom. The two Bed areas have glass balustrade viewing to the Living Area below.

The Master Bedroom area has a king size bed and side boards with shelving below and reading lamps above. This area is provided with a DAB radio alarm clock and a waste bin.

The Second Bedroom area has a small (4ft wide) double bed with bed side table, shelf and bed side lamp and waste bin.

The Bathroom appears modest from the outside, but is comfortably equipped with an electric towel rail, washbasin, WC and bath with shower facilities over. It is small, probably more the size of an en suite bathroom. The facilities are full size.

Linking these three areas is a landing with a substantial amount of wardrobe and storage space including an airing cupboard with it's own hanging rail, wardrobe hanging rails, hangers, shelving and a shoe rack.

There is a hair dryer, an iron, ironing board and folding clothes horse for your use should you require them.

!!CHILDREN!! : Due to the nature of the property, especially at the Mezzanine level, while we encourage "Babes~in~arms", but we do not feel it suitable for "mobile" children between 9 months and 7 years old. Sorry.

YOUNG BABES AND CHILDREN AGED 8 AND ABOVE ARE WELCOME.

For reasons of safety due to the fact that there is a Mezzanine floor above ground level separated only by a handrail and glass panel to (adult) waist height young children may be at risk of falling if they climb onto the rail. These stipulations are for general guidance only. Obviously it is your responsibility to ensure your children's safety. PLEASE ASK if you have any questions about this aspect. We are always happy to help with advice/further photos etc. Please also see the full range of photos in the listing.

Because we have highlighted the potential dangers we accept no responsibility for injury or other consequence of a fall accidental or otherwise. Clearly the property is unsuitable for those of any age who sleepwalk.

Although it is open plan it is not possible to see the bed in the other room when you are in bed yourself nor is it possible to see the beds properly from downstairs. Your child's safety is your own responsibility at all times.

We have made up 2 storage bags to help you, one containing bedding items including sleep bags and one containing washing, changing and feeding items. Hopefully this will help reduce the space taken up in your car for the journey here! We have some suitable cot linen, blankets, a sleep bag and towels, but you'll probably want to bring your own in addition. All of the baby equipment is of a good quality and is checked and steam cleaned before and after each use. Please let us know when you book if you would like to use these facilities so that we may prepare them ahead of your arrival.

DOGS & PETS: Sorry, but due to the nature of the property and lack of enclosed garden, we do not feel it suitable for animals to stay.

The Chapel is immaculately presented and PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED and then checked by the owners between each visit. In addition to this there is no need to remember to put the bins out for collection as this will also be done for you.

WI-FI / INTERNET ACCESS: Wi-fi / Internet access is available. Details for connection are found in the information welcome pack. This also means you can use the smart tv to access catch up tv using BBC iplayer, itv player, All4 etc.

HEATING: Each of the main areas of The Chapel has its own individually controllable energy efficient electric heater which is pre-programmed, but allows you to easily override the settings should you need to.

For those of you who wish to, the wood burning stove is available for use. We ask that you only use the complimentary well seasoned wood and kindling provided. Additional wood can be purchased for a (small economical) fee during your stay and will be delivered to you promptly.

Interaction is at your discretion. The Security Key safe means you can arrive at your own convenience. There is no need to collect keys from another location or to meet us the owners.
