If you’re thinking of switching up your lifestyle and want a home with tons of character, a chapel conversion might be right for you.

Often dating back hundreds of years, there are former chapels and churches across Wales that have been transformed into impressive family homes.

We’ve created a round-up of the chapel conversions currently on the market in Pembrokeshire below.

This converted chapel near the village of Mathry was featured on Channel 4’s ‘Restoration Man’, and originally dates back to the 11th century, having been the last stop on the pilgrimage to St David’s.

With original features throughout, the property is made up of an open-plan dining area, lounge and kitchen, with a wood burning stove and arched windows, three bedrooms, and a shower room.

Outside, the chapel is accessed through the public graveyard, and has a side garden with views over the countryside.

Described as “brimming with character”, this former chapel in Jameston features beamed ceilings, chapel windows and a stone fireplace, as well as various other period features throughout.

The accommodation is made up of an entrance porch, a reception hall, a lounge/dining room, a kitchen/breakfast room, a conservatory, a utility room and a bathroom on the ground floor, while upstairs there are two double bedrooms and a shower room.

The chapel has a low maintenance garden and patio area at the rear, as well as off road parking for one car, with additional on street parking available.

This Grade II listed converted church, called St Lawrence, sits in the village of Yerbeston, and was built in the 13th century, serving the community until the 1970s.

Entered through a Welsh oak door, the property is made up of an open-plan living/kitchen area, with original flagstone flooring, a feature log burner, and stained glass windows.

Also within the former church are two double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a WC, as well as a Juliet balcony.

Close to the coastlines of Saundersfoot, Wiseman’s Bridge and Amroth is this former church, described as “character-filled”, with features such as a stained glass window and exposed beams.

The timber church door leads to an entrance hall, a dining room, a living room with a stone fireplace and high vaulted ceilings, a kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom.

Externally, there is an ornamental stoned parking area,a shrubbery, a log store and a lean-to shed, and a decked area to the rear.

Built in approximately 1820, this chapel was converted into a family home in 2016 and has the potential to further convert the attic for more living space.

Inside, there is a living room, a kitchen, a study, an office, a utility room, a WC, four bedrooms, two with en-suite bathrooms, and a family bathroom.

To the front of the property there is off-road parking, while to the side there is a lawned garden and a seating area.
