Unique Victorian chapel with annexe and permission for a five-bedroom conversion on village edge..
Five-bedroom conversion permission granted for the main church building.
Three-bed chapel plus adjoining two-bed annexe (currently separate units).
Large entertaining rooms and high, characterful spaces.
Pretty cottage-style garden with pond; direct meadow access.
Parking for up to five cars with turning area off-street.
Built 1900–1929; original granite walls likely uninsulated.
Plot described as small relative to property footprint.
Annexe run as Airbnb — income potential and management considerations.
Set on the edge of the Peak District National Park, this former chapel offers striking Gothic Revival character with practical modern comforts. The main three-bedroom conversion and adjoining two-bedroom annexe currently operate separately — the annexe has been a successful Airbnb — and planning permission is already granted to create a single five-bedroom residence, unlocking significant family or rental potential.
Internally the property delivers generous entertaining space, high ceilings in parts, and period stonework alongside gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of C. Outside, a pretty cottage-style garden with pond and gravel paths leads onto wildflower meadow and countryside walks. A large tarmac driveway provides off-street parking for up to five vehicles with turning space.
There are some material points to note: the building dates from 1900–1929 and the original granite or whinstone walls are assumed to lack insulation, so thermal upgrades may be needed when converting fully. The plot is described as small relative to the house footprint. Broadband is fast and crime levels are very low, but mobile signal is average.
This property will suit buyers seeking a distinctive period home with conversion potential — families wanting flexible accommodation or investors looking for a unique holiday-let or long-term rental conversion. The granted planning permission reduces upfront risk for expansion, but expect refurbishment and insulation work when carrying out the conversion to modern standards.
