Amazing family home hides an incredibly fun secret in its garden

A converted church dating back to 1887 complete with its own outdoor slide.

The Gothic-style home is on the market for £425,000 and it retains several original features - not including the children's slide going from a first floor 'castle' onto the lawn below.

The property on the edge of the Welsh village of Ynysybwl, four miles north of Pontypridd with estate agents Hoskins Johnson saying it 'oozes style and luxury'.

The nearest train station, at Abercynon South, is 1.5miles away.

The one-time-church boasts three reception rooms, five bedrooms, a garden with a hot tub.

Ian Rees, partner at Hoskins Johnson, said: “Yr Hen Capel is an incredible chapel conversion that oozes style and luxury.

"Each floor has defined purpose to create an ideal family home.

"Everyone loves to look inside properties on the internet and something as luxurious and spacious as Yr Hen Capel just allows people to put themselves inside this wonderful home.”

Rightmove’s property expert Miles Shipside added: "This property is one of the most magnificent renovated homes I’ve seen in recent years.

"The beautiful stained-glass windows immediately demand your attention and it’s clear to see that the owners had bags of imagination when they created this home.

"It’s oozing with charm, but also has a real sense of fun about it."
