Every so often, I step into a property that feels more like a story than a house and La Chapelle is exactly that. Once a place of quiet reflection, it now breathes with a rare beauty, where 19th-century soul meets modern-day comfort.
From the moment you arrive, there’s a sense of retreat. Tucked neatly between Trinity and St Saviour, La Chapelle feels hidden away, yet it remains well-connected, a balance that suits modern island life perfectly. There’s privacy when you need it, but also ease of access to schools, town, and the island’s leafy countryside walks.
Inside, the home is nothing short of dramatic, yet deeply liveable. The central hall, once dedicated to worship, has been transformed into a magnificent heart of the home. Sunlight filters through towering windows, catching the height of the soaring rooflines, while a wood-burning stove anchors the room with warmth. It’s the kind of space that adapts to your rhythm: lively when friends gather, serene when the day winds down and it’s just you and the crackle of the fire.
Upstairs, the lifestyle shifts from open living to calm retreat. Three generous bedrooms with chapel-framed windows overlook fields that roll towards the horizon, the kind of view that makes you stop, breathe, and take stock. A family bathroom with a deep, indulgent tub is made for lingering, and above it all sits the principal suite, a sanctuary of its own. With exposed beams, bespoke storage, and a perfectly considered en-suite, it’s a space where heritage and comfort meet seamlessly.
Step outside, and the gardens wrap around the property like a natural embrace. The green stretches beyond into fields, offering freedom and a true sense of space. It’s easy to imagine children exploring, dogs roaming, or simply enjoying a slow breakfast in the garden with nothing but birdsong around you.
Practicality hasn’t been forgotten, with mains services, electric heating, and a covered car port — but what strikes me most about La Chapelle is how it makes you feel. This is a home that carries history with dignity, yet offers every modern ease. It’s dramatic when you want it to be, peaceful when you need it to be, and above all, it’s deeply personal.
For me, that’s what makes it so special. La Chapelle isn’t just somewhere to live — it’s somewhere to truly belong.
