Sellers comments:

To renovate and convert Wilcot Chapel into a family home was an absolute privilege. We took it from being a derelict building to being a much-loved home and we have had 17 wonderful years living here. We have so many memories of family life, raising our son and enjoying the nature of the nearby woods, bridleways, lanes and Nesscliffe Hill - whether on foot walking our dogs, running, mountain biking or horse riding. Kinton is a fantastic, welcoming community and the chapel has been at the heart of it for more than 189 years. The calm and peace of this house and the wider area has certainly left its mark on us and will be a very hard act to follow.
