A striking Grade II listed former chapel set within a private, largely communal three-acre estate. The main living room delivers dramatic character with vaulted, beamed ceilings, exposed stone walls and a Norman window offering panoramic hill and River Wear views—ideal for couples or small families who value space and period detail.
Modern comforts are integrated sensitively: an air source heat pump with underfloor heating, a well-equipped all‑electric kitchen and a contemporary bathroom create comfortable, lower-carbon living while preserving historic features. Two generous double bedrooms sit above, and a small private garden provides a sunny breakfast spot off the dining room.
Practical points are straightforward but important. This is a Grade II listed property (reference D36948) which will restrict alterations and may cause difficulties for some buyers. Broadband speeds are reported slow despite reliable internet provision; Council Tax is band E (above average). The property benefits from off-street parking and shared access to extensive communal grounds and woodland shared between 15 dwellings.
For buyers seeking a distinctive home in an unspoilt village with excellent primary schooling and easy road links, this chapel conversion offers unique character, strong village amenities and long-term appeal. Expect some constraints on structural or cosmetic changes due to the listed status.
