About
The Old Chapel
The
Old Chapel is believed to have been originally built as the Methodist
Chapel for Chapel Amble in 1840, it was tastefully converted to a
home in 1996 and remains a Grade II listed property. It is large enough
to be a comfortable holiday home for up
to nine people.
Most
of the original exterior
features remain. The original floorboards are now upstairs and
the pews were made into the existing kitchen worktops. The large slate
hearth was mined locally and allegedly took 12 men to place where
it is now.
The ground
floor is open plan on a stripped pine floor with rugs, scatter cushions
and a logburning stove.
The
kitchen area has a Stanley oil-fired range and seating for 10, around
a large farmhouse table. Further lounge seating is available for up
to eight, with television, VCR and stereo. There is a shower room
to the left of the entrance lobby.
Off the
vaulted space of the open galleried landing there is a large bathroom,
with a rolltop bath, and 3 vaulted, beamed, double bedrooms, all with
an extra single bed, 2 of which are on raised mezzanine sleeping platforms.
These platforms are reached by ladders - so may not be safe for small
children.
