Originally built in 1866 as a Methodist Church and later converted in 2007, The Old Chapel retains a lot of traditional features and is full of character. The conversion was completed to a very high standard, with thought put into every fitting and fixture to ensure the updates paired perfectly with the older characteristics of this stunning stone build.
Pleasantly positioned in the small village Houghton Bank, this residence is surrounded by countryside, farmers fields and idyllic views. Just a short distance away from Darlington, Newton Aycliffe and Bishop Auckland, provides access to most amenities including schools, cafes, restaurants, supermarkets and both independent and high street stores. Located just off the A68 which leads to the A1(M) both North and Southbound.
In brief this property comprises; an entrance hallway, living room, dining room, kitchen, utility, cloakroom as well as both bedroom three and four with their ensuite bathrooms to the ground floor, whilst the first floor accommodates the master bedroom with door leading out to the reinforced sun terrace/balcony with picturesque views over the surrounding fields, bathroom, the second bedroom with free standing roll top bath and ensuite shower room.
Externally this property has a large gated driveway leading to the detached single garage with up and over door. There is ample parking for many vehicles. To the rear is a patio area which leads around to the side garden. Double gates open into the approx. 2 acre paddock, perfect for families with animals and fully enclosed with dry stone walls and fences. The sun terrace located off the master bedroom is the perfect spot for enjoying the views in warmer weather, reinforced and with electric points it would also be the ideal space for the addition of a hot tub.
This property would be great for multi-generational living, by splitting off dining room and bedroom from the kitchen to create a more private space.
