Perfect for wedding groups, the ultimate location for brides to prepare for their special day!
This listing is for access to whole estate (including The Birds Nest).
The approach to The Witta Chapel and Bird's Nest is a journey in itself. A gracefully designed circular driveway, lined with towering, majestic maple trees, offers an awe-inspiring welcome to the property. The sight of a charming white picket fence adds to the allure of this grand entrance. A picturesque timber arbour marks the beginning of your exclusive retreat, which is nestled on just over an acre of meticulously landscaped land.

As you step through the threshold, the interiors of this remarkable estate reveal a captivating world of timeless elegance. The Witta Chapel and Bird's Nest are rich in character and sophistication, with lofty vaulted ceilings that create a sense of grandeur. The enchanting loft bedrooms, each uniquely designed and lavishly appointed, beckon you to explore the many facets of this extraordinary home. The majestic feature windows, strategically positioned throughout, bathe the interior in natural light, creating an ambiance that is both welcoming and invigorating.

The moment you enter, a sense of warmth and luxury envelops you. The living spaces are adorned with plush, designer furnishings that invite you to relax and unwind in style. A large wood-burning fireplace, with its crackling flames, adds to the ambiance, making it the perfect spot to gather and create lasting memories.

The Witta Chapel beautifully marries vintage charm with modern amenities. The open-plan living areas, featuring vaulted ceilings, create a sense of spaciousness, and the bifold doors seamlessly connect the indoors to an expansive outdoor entertaining area. This outdoor deck is graced with quality outdoor furniture, providing the perfect setting for al fresco dining or simply basking in the serenity of the surrounding gardens. The country-style kitchen, complete with Smeg appliances, is a chef's dream, making meal preparation a pleasure. To elevate your stay to the pinnacle of comfort, you'll find state-of-the-art coffee machines in both homes, ensuring that your caffeine fix is always within reach. These modern conveniences are seamlessly integrated into the vintage-inspired ambiance of the property.

The Witta Chapel and Bird's Nest are an idyllic sanctuary for nature enthusiasts. This property offers the opportunity for tranquil countryside living while being just a short drive away from essential amenities. The surroundings are perfect for wedding preparations and small celebrations. With lush gardens, ancient trees, and the timeless elegance of the chapel itself, it provides the ideal backdrop for pre-wedding photoshoots and unforgettable moments.

The Witta Chapel features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, ensuring ample space for a group or family. The loft master bedroom, with its king-size bed draped in luxurious linens, is a haven of comfort and relaxation. The master ensuite, with its clawfoot bath, offers a luxurious retreat where you can soak your cares away. A separate children's/family/TV room leads to two additional loft bedrooms on the other side of the home, with their exposed beams and stained glass windows, add a touch of nostalgia and charm.

"The Bird’s Nest"
For those seeking privacy or an additional space for friends and family, The Bird's Nest is the perfect solution. This recently renovated two-bedroom, one-bathroom home is separate from the main house but just a stone's throw away. It has its own outdoor seating area for peaceful moments.
The master bedroom boasts a king bed and access to the bathroom through a beautiful barn door, while the second bedroom, located on the other side of the living area, features two single beds. Wooden floors add to the rustic charm.

History of the property:
The original chapel building was built in 1995 by the owner of Middleton House (the guest house across the road) with intention of hosting small wedding ceremonies. You will notice that the original vestibule is still in place even though the doorway was built in to enclose what is now the living room. Subsequent owners took the original chapel and completed the transformation into what is now the main house on the property (The Chapel). Along the way a purpose built horse stable was added and the property was used to agist several racehorses until late 2021.

The current owners of the property purchased it in January 2022 and have since spent many weekends with their family enjoying the property while helping with the pain staking task of renovating the original single car garage and office into the beautiful space that we now call "The Birds Nest" guest house.

This property is available for lifestyle/location photography shoots or engagement/wedding/celebration photos. Please contact directly for hourly, half day and daily rates.

This listing provides you with exclusive access to the entire property, offering an experience that's beyond extraordinary. It's a serene and luxurious escape that will imprint lasting memories upon your heart. Don't miss the opportunity to experience The Witta Chapel and Bird's Nest. Book your stay now and immerse yourself in a world of elegance, comfort, and tranquillity that you'll never want to leave!

A wonderful setting and a great group stay

Magnificent property! As a family group (6 including partners) we enjoyed the setting, location and many different elements of the houses, additional buildings and themes, as well as the gardens.Beautiful and well appointed kitchen Wonderful spacious accommodationHowever, January heat and humidity could do with more air conditioning capability (especially bedrooms).Dust in sofas and mould generally were an issue for the asthmatics in the group
