Aptly named Chapel House, this former nineteenth century Wesleyan Chapel has been sympathetically converted into a superb character home with a wealth of period features and modern touches. The doors in the house have been made from the original pews, and the stained glass windows have been fully refurbished, giving an authentic link to the property’s past.

In addition to the architectural and internal qualities, Chapel House is also situated in an enviable position with breathtaking and far reaching rural views at the rear.

Offered with the convenience of no onward chain, this fabulous property has undergone further recent modernisations by the current owner and is immaculately presented throughout.

The property opens at the front to an entrance porch vestibule and then into the kitchen / dining room with Shaker style kitchen including central island as well as space for a dining / breakfast table with an original chapel pew providing seating.

Beyond the kitchen is a light and airy family room with high ceilings emphasising the spacious living accommodation with an impressive and grand central staircase, and corner log burning stove with exposed flue. One of many standout features of this home are the tall hand made bi-folding doors, expertly crafted from the former church pews offering a practical and beautiful divide to the lounge which is centred on a multi fuel burning stove. The bi-folding doors mean that both rooms can be either closed off or opened up to make a large sociable entertaining space. Also off the family room is a contemporary bathroom suite with freestanding bath, walk in shower, vanity sink and toilet. A handy utility room with sink and provisions for a washing machine and dryer complete the ground floor accommodation.

A bespoke staircase leads up to a first floor split level landing with large storage cupboard and four bedrooms including the Master with built in wardrobes in a room which spans the width of the house. The remaining three bedrooms are all good sized and can each accommodate a double bed, all benefitting from Velux windows and share use of a shower room with sink and toilet.

Externally, the property sits handsomely back from the road behind a dwarf wall with wrought iron railings and gate onto a driveway leading to a large garage with electric door, power and courtesy door into the courtyard. There is a further store which has potential uses as a potting shed or home bar among others.

The property sits centrally in its plot and so offers attractive walled courtyard gardens to all sides. There are various seating areas which enjoy the sun at various times of the day with eye catching, far reaching views of the countryside to the rear. Sheep and lambs occupy the fields at the rear giving a real feeling of country living.

In summary, a superb restoration of a former chapel, offering a blend of period architectural features with modern conveniences in the popular commuter village of Moor Monkton.

Mrs E Harvey

Lancaster Samms are by far the best Estate Agents I have ever worked with

Neil really went the extra mile in getting my mum’s house on the market and then getting it sold.

Neil was knowledgeable, reassuring, hard-working, and incredibly thoughtful to both us and the buyers. I cannot recommend his services highly enough.

Mr D Holloway

Elkie was absolutely brilliant from start to finish

I recently bought a house through Lancaster Samms.  My estate agent was Elkie. She was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. An absolute joy to deal with, so much so I would now consider her a friend.  She was so professional keeping me in the loop of a very long probate sale.

Over the course of many months, Elkie met me at the house several times so that I could organise the future renovation work. She was always happy to help.
House buying can be overwhelming sometimes however Elkie always made me feel calm and she was a pleasure to work with.

I am now the owner of the house that I fell in love with on day one. I couldn’t be happier!

Amazing and professional service from start to finish at a hard time for our family

Just sold my late mums bungalow with Elkie from Lancaster Samms.

Amazing and professional service from start to finish at a hard time for our family. Would 100% recommend using them .
Thank you once again Elkie for going over and beyond to make the selling process stress free.

Mrs V Clint

We felt like we were Elkie's only customers

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Elkie at Lancaster Samms for the highest standard of customer service she provided during our sale.

We had the smoothest, no stress sale you could possibly have wanted, couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Elkie lead us through the whole process from beginning to end with ease.  She was always contactable, never left us hanging and kept us updated throughout, no matter how small the detail.  She answered all our questions, no matter how trivial.

We highly recommend Elkie and Lancaster Samms as the Estate Agents to go to.
