Chapel Cottage is a characterful four-bedroom family home set in the heart of the Lake District National Park, with sweeping views over Ullswater and Place Fell. Originally built in 1903 and once the local Sunday school, the property combines traditional stone construction and exposed beams with a sympathetic high-spec refurbishment: hardwood kitchen cabinetry, limestone-flagged floors with underfloor heating, and engineered oak throughout. The result is a comfortable, light-filled home for walkers, families and those seeking a second home in a protected landscape.
The living spaces are arranged for everyday family life and entertaining. A dual-aspect lounge with York stone surround and multi-fuel stove anchors relaxed evenings, while the open-plan kitchen/dining hub — fitted with Miele and Fisher & Paykel appliances — flows out to terraced gardens and multiple outdoor seating areas. Four double bedrooms sit on the upper floor; two bedrooms feature tri-fold doors to Juliet balconies that frame the lake and fells, and two bathrooms plus an en-suite provide practical convenience.
Gardens rise in terraces to create distinct outdoor rooms, including a raised Honister-slate seating area with bespoke fire pit, mature borders and paved terraces for al fresco dining. Practical features include off-street parking for two cars (additional intermittent space nearby), a boot room/utility and good mobile reception — useful for owners who need connectivity while enjoying a rural lifestyle.
A few practical points to note: heating is oil-fired (with underfloor heating in parts), drainage is private, and broadband speeds are average for the area. These factors are common in rural, protected locations and may influence running costs and service arrangements. Overall, Chapel Cottage offers a rare combination of period charm, modern finishings and outstanding Lake District scenery — well suited to families, holiday buyers or anyone seeking a high-quality rural base with easy access to Penrith, Ambleside and Windermere.
