Chapel House Glenridding | Penrith | Cumbria | CA11 0PG
STEP INSIDE Chapel House
Chapel House was built in approximately 1890 and was known as the Weslyan Chapel. The current vendors purchased the chapel in 1997 and converted it into self-catering accommodation, with five bedrooms sleeping up to ten and have subsequently converted the property for their own use. The property ticks all the boxes for those seeking a well proportioned family home or successful holiday let being just a matter of yards from the shore of one of England’s most beautiful lakes. Lake Ullswater. The accommodation at Chapel House is bright and airy due to the large original chapel windows which feature throughout the property. Entering via the vestibule with its wooden panels, cloakroom and stained-glass window, the property’s character and charm is immediately visible. Entering the main living area and what would have been the main chapel, you are greeted with a dining area behind which is a raised mezzanine with the main living space with open fireplace, plenty of space for seating and four large windows with views of Lake Ullswater and the fells beyond. Well positioned window seats provide the perfect situation to enjoy the breathtaking and unique views. Up to the second floor there are three good sized bedrooms off one main hallway, which overlooks the main lounge. The master bedroom has built-in wardrobes and fitted drawers with ensuite bathroom featuring bath, shower, toilet and sink. The second double bedroom also has built-in wardrobes and the third double bedroom has views out the back of the property to the fells. The bedrooms are serviced by a master bathroom which has a jacuzzi bath with overhead shower, toilet and sink. The bedrooms all benefit from the original chapel cornicing and curved ceiling which adds extra character to the property. The kitchen which is next to the dining area, features traditional cream wall and floor units, tiled floor and an electric Rangemaster, along with integrated appliances including fridge/freezer and microwave and granite worktops. A utility room with matching cupboards and granite worktop has plenty of storage space and washing machine and tumble dryer along with a new boiler. There is a door out to the garden.
