Chapel House, Chapels, Darwen, Lancashire, BB3

A very warm welcome to Chapel House. Rich with history and bursting with elegance, character and charm. A property deeply rooted in Darwen history, to say this property is unique simply doesn't do it justice.

Formally a Sunday school house, the property was built in 1855 and is sat in a commanding, prominent and elevated position beyond private gates. Proceed down the private driveway where there's plenty of parking and take in the colours and scenery of a deeply serene and enchanting garden.

Let's look inside...

Upon entrance to the property there is a plaque on the wall with the date of build just to reaffirm the age and history. Proceed through the main entrance and this is where the character and pure elegance of the property comes into its own. High ceilings, feature fireplaces, wooden beams sourced from a local mill and hardwood floors are prominent for as far as the eye can see. Although sat on a huge plot with lots of space, the property has a warm, cosy and dare we say Hogwarts esque feel the moment you arrive. The inside shell of the property was re-designed approximately 20 years ago but has remained sympathetic to its original features.

The first floor benefits from a separate utility room, a modern kitchen area which flows elegantly into a spacious reception room with a formal dining table all dominated by an original feature fireplace. Adjacent is another large room currently used as a snug/TV room sat proudly underneath a gallery landing. Stairs lead down to the ground floor where the properties versatility is obviously apparent. Another generous space with a second feature fireplace which has a multitude of uses. Considering there's currently a full length snooker table here the space doesn't feel cramped and there's ample room for formal furniture in front of a burning fire - imagine sitting here after a long day whilst enjoying complete and total privacy. We can't go any further without mentioning the bar area which is made out the old school house door - what a touch! If that wasn't enough there's access to another smaller room which has been used as an office plus a charming conservatory with doors leading to the garden.

To the first floor are four generous bedrooms and a fully fitted family bathroom suite which is surely ripe for modern family living. There's also access to a large loft area which has heaps of space and could be converted to make more accommodation available (subject to planning).

We can't recommend internal viewing enough to fully appreciate the quality and attention to detail on offer here. If you've got your heart set on a characterful property in fantastic condition then this is surely for you. Please contact our sales team to arrange your viewing.
