Chapel House is a stone-built detached cottage on the edge of Belper, set against open Derbyshire countryside. The property requires full modernisation, offering a clear blank canvas for someone happy to manage a renovation project. Its elevated position and large rear garden deliver handsome country views and immediate access to countryside walks.
Internally the layout is traditional with a lounge, kitchen/dining room, utility, two bedrooms and a bathroom. A substantial roof space with exposed trusses and dormer windows presents genuine potential for conversion to additional bedrooms or living space. The vendor notes possible reconfiguration to a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home subject to planning permission (application not confirmed).
Practical considerations are straightforward: the house uses electric heating (underfloor and storage heaters), has timber-frame walls with assumed partial insulation, double glazing of unknown age, and will need comprehensive updating of services and finishes. There is a driveway, single garage and generous gardens to front, side and rear that back onto fields.
For buyers attracted to rural character and long-term value, this property offers scope to create a comfortable modern home while retaining traditional stone charm. Important negatives to note are the need for full refurbishment, reliance on electric heating, and that any extension or conversion requires planning approval.
