The Property 
Situated amidst the picturesque North Pennines and overlooking the sweeping vistas of the West Allen Valley, Old High House Chapel is a charming Grade II listed conversion, with roots stretching back to 1750 and a history as a Wesleyan chapel. The essence of the property is its authentic historic character, showcasing lovely period features such as sash windows and exposed stone interior walls.  
Spread over three floors, the interior layout has been thoughtfully reimagined into a wonderfully warm and inviting space. The ground floor features a cosy kitchen/family room centred around a log burner. This space also serves as a dining area, with outlooks of the valley creating an impressive backdrop for meals. The kitchen is fitted with an electric fan-assisted oven and benefits from ample storage space witha separate pantry.  

Ascending to the first floor, the main sitting room embodies the historic character of the building. Decorative chandeliers, stained glass sash windows and a central anthracite stove contribute to a cosy atmosphere.  

The chapel's accommodation sleeps up to six guests and features a generously proportioned bedroom, complemented by stunning views of the picturesque valley. The living area includes additional sleeping arrangements that are cleverly integrated into the living space. Adjoining the bedroom is a distinctive bathroom with a bathtub/shower. An additional room adjoining the bedroom functions as a home office.
