3 bedroom detached house for sale

Not Sure If You’ll Feel Closer To God But The Upstairs Kitchen / Diner Is Truly Divine! This former chapel has benefited from a state of the art, luxury conversion. No church roof collections needed here, with solar panels and infrared ceiling heating! Property ref: KD0516

Going to chapel may be thought of as something old people do - and this fabulous conversion may indeed appeal to a discerning older buyer. But it’s been updated to such an impressive, modern standard that you may also find younger people join the “flock” to check it out.

It’s got an upside down layout that makes the most of the high vaulted ceiling on the first floor.

The whole of the first floor is taken up with a spacious and stylish kitchen / diner. Velux windows flood the room with light which bounces off the gorgeous white worksurfaces. The kitchen has sleek handleless fitted units and top of the range integrated appliances, including a “Bake Off” style NEFF Slide&Hide oven.

There’s an island unit where you can pull up a stool to catch up with friends, space to sit and eat and plenty of room for a relaxed seating area.

The ground floor is a versatile space.

There’s a double bedroom with a spa-quality four piece ensuite bathroom and a separate shower room.

There are two other rooms on the ground floor that could be used as reception rooms or additional bedrooms (both would be classed as double bedrooms), along with a handy utility room.

The chapel has a small garden at the front and additional land can be purchased. Measuring approx 740.27 m² (7,968.19 ft²) you may be tempted to explore the possibility of obtaining planning permission to build another dwelling on the plot.

Kirkby Thore is a small rural village, just off the A66. It’s around 10 minutes drive to Appleby-in-Westmorland and 15 minutes to Penrith.

There’s a post office / village store just round the corner but if you need more than a loaf of bread or pint of milk you’d probably head to Appleby.

If you’re heading further afield being close to the A66 means it only takes 12 minutes to reach junction 40 of the M6.

This gorgeous former methodist chapel will be the perfect peaceful retreat to make the most of the quiet countryside setting.

Everything has been done for you to a superb standard - it’s just like an idyllic holiday cottage where you just have to turn up and make yourselves at home!

Which does make you think that the unique combination of old and new would also make it a very popular Airbnb holiday let, sure to attract a loyal congregation!

Whatever you have in mind, make sure you don’t miss out on this unique historic property.

I’m expecting plenty of interest so call me to arrange a viewing.
