A striking former Methodist chapel sympathetically converted into almost 2,900 sq ft of distinctive family accommodation. The Old Chapel pairs dramatic Gothic Revival features — vaulted ceilings, large arched windows and a restored pulpit/dining platform — with high-spec fittings including a bespoke kitchen, Aga and Miele appliances.
Accommodation is arranged mainly over two floors and centres on an impressive vaulted sitting room with a raised dining area. The principal bedroom is a suite, with three further bedrooms each served by contemporary en suites. A bespoke spiral staircase crafted from original pews and a ground-floor infrared sauna/shower add artisanal and wellness touches.
Outside, the house sits on a large plot with a private enclosed garden and patio ideal for alfresco dining. The property includes a self-contained one-bedroom annexe (The Cow Shed), useful for guests, multi-generational living or rental income. Heating is by air-source heat pump with underfloor electric, reflecting modern efficiency despite the property’s period shell.
Practical points to note: the EPC is rated D and council tax is described as quite expensive. Access is via a shared driveway owned by the Chapel, and while the building has been recently converted (2021), its characterful fabric requires routine upkeep to preserve heritage features. Overall this is a rare, character-led family home in a sought-after village location close to Helmsley and the North York Moors.
