Guide Price: £430,000 - £450,000.
Kaber Chapel is a magnificent converted Methodist chapel dating back to 1891. The property sits prominently at the top of the quiet village of Kaber with lovely, long distance views.
Kaber is just 3 miles from Kirkby Stephen, well placed for easy access to the Dales and the Lakes. Just 13 miles from J38 of the M6, and the trans-Pennine A66 is 2 miles away. There is also a train station at Kirkby Stephen, on the famous Settle to Carlisle line. Kirkby Stephen is a lovely town and has highly regarded primary and grammar schools, as well as a good range of shops, restaurants, pubs, church, chapel and doctor's surgery. There is a weekly outdoor market and a thriving agricultural mart. There are also excellent sports facilities in town with cricket, football and Upper Eden rugby club.
Kaber is surrounded by open countryside and Kaber Chapel enjoys fantastic views of the surrounding hills. The Chapel was converted to a holiday let in 2007 and has recently had the planning restrictions lifted and can now also be a full-time residence, if desired.
The work was completed bringing a Scandinavian aesthetic to the interior, the then owner being related to descendants of the famous children’s author Roald Dahl, of Norwegian descent. The present owners bought the property in 2013 and have since improved and refurbished further. Works included a new air source heat pump, new Finnish hot tub, indoor BBQ and EV point along with countless other smaller improvements.
The accommodation is flexible and spacious and retains original character features one would expect from a Chapel conversion including the original doors, beams, lectern and windows. On the ground floor is a large, open plan dining and kitchen area with a wood burning stove, this area is a very sociable entertaining space. The ground floor also offers three double bedrooms, one with an en-suite and the other two have use of private bathrooms. There is a sauna, hot tub and indoor barbeque. Upstairs is a deceptively large sitting room with arched windows and views towards the North Pennines. There is a mezzanine landing, complete with antique organ and a further two en-suite double bedrooms.
The Chapel was running successfully as a holiday let until August 2025. However, it could easily be a family home or a home for a professional couple who want to work from home. The current owners advertise their property on their own website https://kaberchapel.uk and groupaccomadation.com It is currently promoted encouraging long weekend bookings, usually from groups of friends and family with single sex groups being discouraged. The business could be expanded by using agents for bookings, accepting full week lets and considering same sex groups.
