The Old Chapel - Welcome to The Old Chapel, a beautiful converted Wesleyan Chapel, set in the desirable village of Low Bentham. This unique detached home provides the historic character of a Victorian building with the convenience and luxury of an immaculately presented modern house.
From the roadside, The Old Chapel makes a striking first impression with plenty of ‘wow factor’ throughout. Constructed in the handsome stone typical of the area, the façade showcases tall arched windows and an ornate stone-framed entrance porch that proudly reflects its 19th-century heritage. Mature planting softens the frontage, with established shrubs and trees providing year-round interest, all enclosed by black wrought iron railings and stone boundary walls, creating an inviting and unique approach.
Step through the double solid hardwood entrance doors, sympathetic to the original design, into a useful porch with feature exposed stone walls, followed by the original pitch pine doors opening onto the hall, which provides access to a cloakroom, utility room and a versatile office or fourth bedroom.
The hall leads through oak double doors to a stunning sitting room with an impressive high vaulted ceiling and mezzanine above. There is also a spacious kitchen–dining room with bi-fold doors opening onto the enclosed rear patio garden.
A beautiful solid oak staircase ascends to the mezzanine, giving access to all three bedrooms, one featuring its own tasteful en-suite shower room, along with the magnificent Travertine-tiled family bathroom.
Outside, the property continues to impress, offering fully enclosed external space with ample off-road parking for two vehicles.
Low Bentham - Low Bentham is a charming village situated on the western edge of North Yorkshire, close to the borders of Lancashire and Cumbria, with views of the ruggedly beautiful Three Peaks and the blue mountains of the Lake District. .

Both the Lake District and Morecambe Bay are also within easy reach, offering excellent options for day trips and outdoor activities.

High Bentham also benefits from a train station on the Leeds to Lancaster line, providing convenient rail connections.
For families, there are excellent secondary school options at Settle College and Queen Elizabeth School in Kirkby Lonsdale.
