Description

The Chapel at Soulby is a former detached Methodist chapel offering exciting development potential, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

The property is situated in the peaceful village of Soulby, just 2 miles from the market town of Kirkby Stephen, which provides a good selection of shops, pubs and restaurants. Kirkby Stephen also benefits from a railway station on the scenic Settle to Carlisle line.

The location is ideally positioned for access to both the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the Lake District, with the A66 and M6 motorway within a short driving distance, offering convenient links to wider transport networks.

The Chapel is being sold as a public building and presents an excellent opportunity for conversion into a residential dwelling, holiday let or commercial space, subject to planning consent.

While Soulby itself enjoys a peaceful rural setting, it is well connected by road and rail, providing access to nearby towns, key transport routes and some of the region's most desirable countryside. Altogether, The Chapel at Soulby represents a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a distinctive building with significant potential in an attractive and well-connected village location.
