The Property
The Chapel is a charming stone-built former chapel situated right at the heart of the Tyne Valley village of Bardon Mill. Believed to have been constructed in the mid-1800s, the property has been recently refurbished to create a beautiful home with smart contemporary kitchen and bathrooms, and wooden flooring blended with period touches like a wood burning stove in the sitting room.

The front door opens into a porch leading into the light, bright sitting room with double doors out to the side of the property and access into the dining room. A study, snug or play room branches off the dining room. Glazed double doors from the dining room reveal an attractive and spacious modern kitchen with an excellent range of units, integrated oven, gas hob and space for a dishwasher, washing machine and fridge/freezer. A promontory breakfast bar is a lovely addition. A rear porch leads to a handy downstairs WC and a door into the garden.

Stairs lead up from the sitting room to four bedrooms, the principal with a luxurious en-suite bathroom boasting a modern free-standing bath and walk-in wet room area with recessed shower head. The further three bedrooms are served by a stylish shower room and there is plenty of built-in storage. One of the bedrooms features a built-in, bespoke, bed frame created around a floor level architectural feature from when the property was a working chapel.

Externally
The Chapel features a low maintenance gravel forecourt with mature bushes and shrubs to the front and a gated driveway to the side leading to the detached double garage and ample parking for several vehicles. A patio beside the house with a pergola offers a private spot to sit or dine al fresco and to the rear of The Chapel is a further gated patio and gravelled garden with planted areas.
