Summary - OLD WESLEYAN CHAPEL EMBLETON COCKERMOUTH CA13 9YA
4 bed 5 bath Detached
Approximately 3,697 sq ft of distinctive converted chapel space
A rare converted Wesleyan chapel dating from 1863, this substantial four-double-bedroom house combines dramatic Gothic Revival features with generous living space across almost 3,700 sq ft. The former chapel’s vaulted ceilings, lancet-topped leaded windows, exposed beams and original pipe organ create memorable principal rooms ideal for entertaining and family life.
Set on approximately 0.75 acre within the Lake District National Park, the grounds include lawns, terraces, courtyard and woodland, plus on-site parking. Practical rooms include a fitted dining kitchen with Rayburn, utility, garden room and a large lower-ground entertaining room. Several bedrooms have en suite facilities and flexible accommodation is arranged over multiple levels.
Practical considerations include LPG central heating, septic tank drainage and very slow broadband speeds; buyers should factor running costs, servicing of the septic system and connectivity limits. Some upper rooms have sloping ceilings and restricted headroom accessed by a spiral staircase, which may suit some but limit layout options for others. Council Tax is band E (above average).
This is an appealing proposition for a family or buyer seeking a distinctive rural home with scope to personalise and update. Its location under four miles from Cockermouth and within the National Park offers countryside living with local schools rated Good, but its remoter setting means private transport is essential.
