Make sweet music in Cambridge: idyllic cottage divided into two homes - one to rent and one to live in - comes with a concert hall in a converted chapel

Rose Cottage was built in the 17th century and is currently owned by a professional cellist.

In the village of Coton, just a few miles from Cambridge, this divine former baptist chapel might just be the answer to your prayers.

On the market for £850,000, it comes with Grade II-listed Rose Cottage, which dates from 1689. The present owner — a professional cellist — has divided it into two homes.

One is a two-bedroom house to let and the other a one-bedroom barn extension to live in, converted from a former workshop (but the property can easily be turned back to one large house).

The old chapel sits in the garden and has been beautifully restored to provide a private concert hall with surprisingly good acoustics and seating for 70.

Manicured lawns, vegetable and herb gardens and a summer house complete the rural idyll.
