What's not to love about The Chapel? The calm and peaceful atmosphere is evident throughout - this must be awonderful place to call ‘home’.

Previously a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel built in 1866 according to the date stone on the eastern elevation. The last actof worship was held in 2010 and the property was subsequently converted and extended in 2013 combining the oldwith new and sleek clean lines with natural materials - the ultra modern interior is totally unexpected from outsideappearances.

It's all about the views - when you first arrive and pull up in the car, take a moment to look around, theuninterrupted views overlook the lower Tatham Fells and reach out towards the Lakeland Fells. Living here will allowyou to enjoy these views from almost every room and even from the main bed - waking up to this natural beauty mustreally set you up for the day!

The sociable living kitchen enables you to chat to family and friends whilst you cook or just potter. The kitchen isattractively fitted with a contemporary and sleek Nextline Kitchen with integral appliances, white Corian worktops and aslate floor which compliments the units - it's the perfect place to entertain or sit in quiet contemplation, book andcoffee to hand. Backing up the kitchen and providing excellent storage is a useful utility/laundry room as well as ashelved store room - a good old fashioned pantry by any other name.

Walking into the good-sized sitting room brings a gasp and a ‘wow’ - its partly double height with light flooding infrom the large chapel windows. A log burning stove stands on a flag hearth with windows standing tall either side. Anoak staircase rises to an impressive gallery landing with exposed trusses and a seating area - a perfect place to listento your vinyl, read or work from home whilst light floods in from the central skylights above.

Surrounded by fresh air and birdsong you’re well on your way to a good night’s sleep - there are four ensuite bedrooms, three doubles to the first floor, all with ceilings rising to the roof apex and a fourth on the ground floor.The master bedroom has its own ‘wow factor’ with triple full height windows framing the splendid view - imaginewaking up to this and enjoying your morning cup of tea in bed as you contemplate the day ahead. There may also bepotential to add a balcony (subject to consent). The guest bedroom on the ground floor is perfect for less mobileguests or to give those staying a little privacy, it would also make a cracking study or home office.

Wash and brush up in style - the bathroom/shower rooms are all individual, finished with Brazilian slate, marble orceramic tiles and Duravit sanitary ware.

Outside space - to the front is a formal parterre garden, to the side and rear, a level lawn with mature trees, plantedbeds and a large flagged terrace - ideal for alfresco dining and a delightful place to sit and enjoy the panoramic view.There is gravel driveway parking for several cars, a useful outside store with power and light, perfect for bikes andgarden equipment and an open fronted wood store.

Location, location, location - situated in a rural village setting within the Forest of Bowland yet very accessible forthe A683 and A65.
