Welcome home to Old Church Hall Cottage...

Drive slowly through sleepy country lanes where sunlight dapples through the trees and be captivated by the majesty of the Pennines that hold dominance on the skyline. The drive to Bolton Village has to be one of the very best that the Eden Valley has to offer, breath-taking scenery that invites you to explore...

Old Chapel Hall Cottage is a truly exceptional village home, quietly positioned on Chapel Street in the heart of the highly regarded village of Bolton. This is a place that effortlessly blends community spirit with countryside charm: a thriving village pub at its heart, a much-loved play park created through local fundraising, a respected primary school, village hall and the beautiful All Saints Church all combining to create a setting that appeals equally to families and professionals alike.

Originally the village church hall, the property was comprehensively rebuilt and extended in 2015–2016 and has since been meticulously cared for and enhanced by the current owners. Today, it stands as a refined and beautifully considered home, framed by traditional dry-stone walls and approached through a sage-green painted picket gate. A sandstone path, edged with gravel beds and established planting, leads to the front door, while thoughtfully designed gardens wrap around the property to capture sunlight throughout the day. The front garden enjoys morning and midday sun, while the south-east and south-west facing rear garden is ideal for long afternoons and evenings outdoors. A gated driveway, garage and additional side access complete the approach.

Stepping inside, the quality of finish is immediately apparent. A welcoming vestibule opens into an elegant inner hallway where underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor, gently radiating warmth through a striking blend of local slate flooring. Bespoke oak doors with black latch furniture, characterful wooden lintels and carefully retained architectural details give the house a sense of heritage, while modern glazing and insulation ensure comfort and efficiency.

The kitchen diner is a standout space, generous in scale and filled with light, enjoying views across the village. Solid oak cabinetry, beautifully detailed hardware and soft mosaic tiling in warm mocha and cream tones create a timeless aesthetic. The layout extends into the dining room and easily accommodates a large dining table for ten, while a peninsula breakfast bar provides relaxed everyday seating. Integrated appliances include a full-height fridge and freezer, dishwasher and wine cooler, alongside a three-oven range. Above, vaulted ceilings with twin rooflights and an oak-framed extractor create architectural interest, while a stable door opens directly to the garden, seamlessly connecting inside and out.

Across the hall, the principal living room is both impressive and inviting, centred around a solid stone chimney with a 5.5kW multi-fuel stove and a deep oak lintel. Dual-aspect windows draw in natural light, while glazed doors lead through to a stunning garden room with cathedral-style glazed ceilings. This flexible space lends itself equally well as a second sitting room, a peaceful retreat, or as part of a self-contained arrangement for dependent relatives or guests.

The ground floor also offers two beautifully appointed double bedrooms, each with its own en suite shower room, underfloor heating and garden outlooks.

Upstairs, a light-filled landing with rooflight leads to two further bedroom suites. The principal suite is a showpiece: a vast and tranquil bedroom with village and layered natural light from multiple rooflights. A bespoke walk-in dressing room offers exceptional storage, while the luxurious en suite bathroom features a freestanding oval bath with waterfall tap, a large walk-in shower, underfloor heating and refined contemporary finishes. Cleverly concealed storage extends into the insulated space above the garage, ideal for suitcases and seasonal items.

The second first-floor bedroom is equally generous, enjoying views towards both the village and surrounding fells. A fitted dressing area removes the need for freestanding furniture, while the en suite shower room continues the home’s cohesive design with sandstone flooring, quality tiling and modern fittings.

Outside, the gardens are designed for both beauty and practicality. Textured paving provides safe, elegant terraces for al fresco dining, while raised sandstone beds, mature planting and subtle lighting create atmosphere throughout the seasons. A high surrounding wall ensures privacy, and gated side access leads neatly around the property. A substantial outbuilding has been transformed into a fully serviced utility room, complete with plumbing, power and storage, offering potential as an outdoor party kitchen, home office or ancillary space.

The attached garage provides further storage and workshop potential, supporting modern family life with ease. With underfloor heating to the ground floor, smart electric panel heating upstairs, four en suite bedrooms and a layout that flows effortlessly between formal and informal spaces, Old Chapel Hall Cottage is a rare and refined village home. It offers the warmth and character of its heritage, the confidence of high-quality modern construction, and a setting that is both peaceful and deeply connected to village life.

Old Church Hall Cottage is connected to mains drains and the central heating system is powered by oil and warms the home via underfloor heating, as there is no gas supply to the village.
