The Old Chapel, Houlsyke, Whitby

Hope & Braim are delighted to present The Old Chapel, a beautifully converted former chapel occupying an idyllic position within the North York Moors National Park, enjoying stunning open views across the surrounding moorland landscape.

This immaculately restored property retains a wealth of period character throughout, with exposed stonework, soaring timber beams and striking arched windows all combining to create an interior of genuine distinction. The conversion has been carried out with evident care, successfully balancing original architectural features with the requirements of comfortable contemporary living.

The principal reception space is a generous lounge, where the drama of the chapel's original proportions is keenly felt. This flows into a well-appointed kitchen/diner, the heart of which is a double-sided stove serving both rooms, an arrangement both practical and atmospheric. On the lower ground floor, a further room provides flexible accommodation suitable as a third bedroom or study, alongside a dedicated utility room.

To the first floor, two well-proportioned double bedrooms make excellent use of the building's character, with the arched windows framing views that vary with the seasons. These are served by a luxurious bathroom suite, finished to a high standard.

Practical provisions include oil central heating and double-glazing throughout, a garage, generous off-street parking and a range of useful outbuildings, well suited to the demands of rural living. A highlight is the stone terrace that enjoys a southerly aspect and boasts elevated views across the valley below.

The setting at Houlsyke, close to the village of Danby, is one of genuine tranquillity, within the heart of the North York Moors and with ready access to the surrounding countryside.

A property of this individuality and quality commands an early viewing, and one is strongly recommended.
