The Old Chapel Driffield Road, Huggate, York

This beautiful converted chapel dating from the mid 19th Century has undergone a major refurbishment by the current owner. The property is full of character with many original features and if you are looking for a unique home then this could be the one. The barn offers a wonderful opportunity to convert to additional accommodation, or a place to work from home (STPP). Located in a popular Wolds village makes it ideal if you are seeking rural living, yet within easy reach of major road and rail networks.

Immediately you walk into the entrance hall with its polished Indian slate tiled floor, the house welcomes you with its character. There is a formal dining room, family room and study, all of which have versatility of usage dependent upon your personal requirements. The living room with multi-fuel stove has stained wood flooring beneath the wall to wall Seagrass carpet, as do the other reception rooms should you wish to expose this again.

The dining kitchen and snug is the real hub of the home with a log burner. Extensive bespoke fitted units with a Butler's pantry and granite work surfaces include an inset stainless steel sink unit. Integral appliances include dishwasher, Siemens Schott induction hob and a Bosch oven. The Rayburn oil fired range runs the central heating as well as providing additional cooking facilities. Off the kitchen is the utility with a range of bespoke fitted units, solid wood drainer with inset Belfast sink, cupboard for washing machine and dryer and space for an American fridge freezer. There is a downstairs cloakroom with antique style WC and hand basin, and an adjacent shelved cupboard.

Stairs from the entrance hall lead to the galleried landing. The master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and French doors opening onto a balcony. An antique style ensuite shower room has a waterfall shower with separate handset, hand basin, WC, towel radiator and wall unit with vanity mirror.

Bedroom two and three are linked but the original door opening is there to open up again should you wish. The idea was to possibly make this into a master bedroom suite with dressing room and bathroom. The bathroom has a free standing bath with claw feed, waterfall shower and mixer shower, hand basin with fitted vanity unit mirror and WC. The property has oil central heating and uPVC double glazing.

To the front there is plenty of parking with borders and beds of mature shrubs. A door from the front opens onto the gardens to the side and rear which are fully enclosed and Indian slate paved for easy maintenance. Mature shrubs screen the garden making it very private, and quite a sun trap to the side. The barn is the former garage and offers great versatility. With numerous power points it would make an ideal office or consultation room if you have a business. Another option is to convert it into accommodation as a holiday cottage, subject to planning permission.

The Old Chapel is a charming property with a wealth of character and we recommend viewing to appreciate the high quality of work undertaken.
