Norrmannebo Chapel - now a beautiful and fascinating home In scenic Norrmannebo, situated high up, this extraordinary home reigns with a fantastic view over the plains and the glittering river. Description A home in a class of its own for those who desire something unique and exceptional, a true lifestyle property. With a history dating from the early 1900s, the property has made a journey without equal - from chapel to residence, resulting in an incredibly inviting and fascinating home.You are welcomed by an interior that offers striking spaciousness, and despite the large room volumes, the feeling of warmth and extravagance is palpable. With its nearly eight-metre ceiling height in the great hall, one is easily captivated. Original details bearing witness to bygone eras coexist in fine harmony with all the newer modern elements that have emerged through careful renovation. The architecture of the ceiling, preserved vaults, wall paintings and arched window niches give a vague reminder of the sacred, while much else has undergone a complete transformation in the spirit of contemporary luxury. Here there is room for several social zones, the spaces are generous, and it is perfectly suited for inviting guests to grand dinners and celebrations in an environment that is entirely unique. Light the fire, set the long table and offer a welcome toast around the generous kitchen island while culinary creation takes shape in the beautiful custom-built kitchen. A moulded stainless-steel sink meets the plastered raw wall surface, and the light from the tall arched window flows completely over the worktops. The room next door, which in turn leads out to the back of the building, is used today as an extension of the kitchen. Here most things are stored, such as wine, preserves, dry goods, fruit and vegetables, like a large luxurious pantry. Perhaps this is where the dream of running a small-scale restaurant in a home setting takes shape?Peaceful surroundings embrace the house, and looking out over the landscape through the strikingly beautiful windows is like a living painting regardless of season and weather. When the temperature difference between water and air becomes noticeable, the sea smoke that forms over the river is somewhat dramatic and provides an equally enchanting view from the house each time it appears. The architectural and the functional go hand in hand, and despite the imposing and open floor plan, there are also good storage spaces to manage a smooth everyday life. There are three bedrooms in the house, as well as two stylish bathrooms featuring, among other things, a steam shower and a laundry area. Ground-source heating is also installed. The exterior with its red brick in the National Romantic style, together with the magnificent church tower, makes it hard to mistake what the property once was - Norrmannebo's chapel. In 2012, the Romelanda parish put the chapel up for sale, and in 2013 the chapel was taken over by new owners, where the journey of transforming it into a private residence began. There has never been a burial ground on the property.The plot is large and at present fairly untouched. There is room here for those who wish to develop with cultivation and outdoor terraces. Perhaps explore the possibility of subdivision, or why not build a henhouse or a sheep pen? A large gravelled parking area below the residence accommodates many cars, but it is also possible to drive all the way up to the entrance.The area offers, among other things, the Svartedalen nature reserve, located west of Norrmannebo, which is rich in lakes and has a well-developed trail system and several hiking trails. Walk, cycle, paddle, fish, pick berries and mushrooms. A mecca for nature experiences! Thorskog Castle with its fairytale setting offers, among other things, gastronomic experiences in the restaurant.Kungälv is reached in about 15 minutes by car, and Diseröd, with among other things a preschool, school (grades F-6) and grocery store, within 10 minutes. Lysegården's golf club for golf enthusiasts, Romevi with several activities such as football, gymnastics, table tennis etc., as well as a riding school, are also found in the local area. Bus 422 runs between Lilla Edet and Kungälv.
