**** STUNNING CONVERSION ****
A unique opportunity to acquire this Grade II Listed Chapel which has been skilfully converted to create a stunning three storey, five bedroom, high specification living accommodation, featuring a stunning open plan living room, master bedroom suite and second floor cinema room.
Foreword
Old Topcliffe Chapel is a simply stunning conversion of a period former Methodist Chapel, which has created a quite outstanding family opportunity. The conversion has retained a wealth of the original church features and has been sympathetically restored and adapted to a contemporary finish which includes oak interior doors.
The property sits within the heart of one of the region's sought after village locations, offering quick and easy access to the A168 and A1 motorway, which in turn affords an easy commute to the major business districts throughout West Yorkshire as well as Teesside.
The property is a once in a generation opportunity and an early inspection is strongly recommended.
Accommodation
The property is entered from the front through the hardwood church door, having an arched window with stained glass. There is a Victorian style radiator and wood panelled surround.
Integral doors lead through into the open plan living room which is without doubt the feature room of the property.
The living room was previously the central body of the chapel and as such is completely open plan with a central oak staircase leading to the first floor accommodation with a glass balustrade and oak handrail.
The living room has been carefully separated through its layout into four separate parts, including a living area, dining area, reading room and bar. There is a feature cast iron wood burning store in addition to the original side staircases, both of which remains in situ as a lasting period feature.
There is underfloor heating throughout, wood panelling, two television aerial points and a bespoke bar using reclaimed chapel ornaments and features. There is a side entrance door which leads out onto the garden beyond.
Beyond is the well designed kitchen with a high specification finish. The kitchen includes a modern range of built-in base units with bespoke worktops and an inset polycarbonate sink unit. There is an additional range of matching high level storage and display cupboards to two sides with ceramic tiled splashbacks and a walk-in pantry. Included within the kitchen is a Belling Rangemaster with extractor canopy in addition to a built-in Hotpoint dishwasher. The kitchen features underfloor heating with separate controls, twin double glazed Velux rooflights, a period open fireplace with a cast iron basket grate and tiled flooring.
There is a separate utility room which houses the Baxi gas fired central heating boiler, in addition to a further fitted worktop with plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble drier. There is a built-in airing cupboard which houses the pressurised hot water cylinder and immersion heater. The utility room also includes a double glazed Velux rooflight and ceiling downlighters. Located off the utility room is a downstairs cloakroom having a contemporary low flush WC and wash hand basin in addition to tiled splashbacks and a heated towel rail.
The ground floor accommodation is completed by the "Pond Room" which has a hand built fish pond with water feature. The room boasts a number of the original chapel features including organ pipes, shelving, a pew, and an original triple fronted cupboard. There is tiled flooring, radiator and integral garage access.
The first floor landing has a matching return staircase leading to the second floor with a further glass balustrade and oak handrail. The landing also features a reading room with the backdrop of the original organ pipes, in addition to a protective glass balustrade, multi-pane casement windows to each side elevation offering natural reading light.
