Old Chapel House is a converted and extended Chapel sat on a large plot within the quiet hamlet of Cotterdale, near Hawes.
Located on the fringes of the hamlet of Cotterdale, said to be "one of the hidden gems of Upper Wensleydale". Cotterdale is approached by a single track, council maintained road which runs alongside Cotter Beck and is a most peaceful and picturesque dale, nestling amongst wooded hills and open fells. The Pennine Way and Great Shunner Fell are both accessible directly on foot from the property. Although a tranquil location, with spectacular views all round and an abundance of wildlife, including red squirrels, the hamlet is only 4 miles from the bustling market town of Hawes and a similar distance from Garsdale station which is on the famous Settle to Carlisle mainline railway route. Cotterdale is renowned for its dark skies, a stargazers paradise.
Old Chapel House dates back to 1800's and was a methodist Chapel until 1967. More recently it has been converted and extended to create a spacious, characterful home.
On the ground floor is an entrance hall which provides a useful boot room. There is a traditional dining kitchen complete with solid fuel Rayburn. At the front is an open plan living/ dining room with a multi fuel stove and windows overlooking the gardens. Upstairs are three bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite and a family bathroom
The property benefits from having some double glazed windows and modern electric radiators. Further modernisation may be required.
Outside, the large gardens surround the house. The gardens are mainly lawn with mature trees. There is a lovely patio area with views over the beck and the forest. Within the rear garden is a large, detached garage and ample parking and turning for several vehicles.
Old Chapel House is a perfect family, holiday or active retirement home in a truly spectacular location surrounded by wildlife.
