Property: Daydream Homes
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.PENGE, in south-east London, is more synonymous with suburban semis than dream homes, which makes the chapel in Waterman's Square seem all the more exotic. Set back in private grounds, it looks like the gatehouse to an Oxford college, with its vaulted arch, twin towers and crest. In fact, it was built as the chapel to a group of adjoining almshouses, but the entire square has now been converted into private houses. Inside, the chapel retains its two tower staircases and the huge beamed central room with a 40ft-high ceiling. The rest of the space has been converted into three bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom, and the chapel has its own 55ft private garden at the back. GA Properties in Crystal Palace (081-771 6211) are asking pounds 150,000 for the 115-year lease. (Photograph omitted)
