The Old Chapel 6, Mill Bank Road, Mill Bank, West Yorkshire, HX6 3DY

WHERE HISTORY AND ARCHITECTURE MEET IN A WARM, FAMILY HOME

Once a place of worship, now a place of wonder – The Old Chapel is a truly remarkable 19th-century Grade II listed home, offering over 4,300 sqft of bold, open-plan living within a beautifully-preserved stone exterior.

Meticulously converted by award-winning architects Evans Vettori in 2000, this landmark property seamlessly blends soaring historic features with contemporary design – the perfect backdrop for a life well-lived.

Set within the sought-after Ryburn Valley, it offers rare privacy, breathtaking views, and approximately one acre of private grazing land, all within easy reach of Ripponden and major motorway links.

“One of the reasons we fell in love with The Old Chapel was how the space and architectural flow are reminiscent of an art gallery. And, being a converted Methodist church, the acoustics are incredible – it’s a home that embraces creativity.” – Current homeowners
