Scales, Threlkeld, Keswick, CA12

Description

Old Chapel, a former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel for Scales and Threlkeld was built in 1843. In 1947 it was sold by the Methodist Church and converted into a residential dwelling. The current owner and their family have owned the property since 1961 and it has undergone extensive renovation and extension in sympathy with its age.

As you approach Old Chapel a Lakeland stone wall borders the front of the property and the driveway extends to the side. The front entrance is accessed by a path leading to an enclosed porch that leads into the entrance hall. As you go into the lounge you are greeted with windows on both sides of the room that give a perfect view of the surrounding fells and take in the attractive cottage garden. The sunroom off the lounge offers a peaceful place to sit and watch a large variety of garden birds and the occasional red squirrel and take in the splendour of the outside and views beyond. Continuing through the property you have a delightful master bedroom with vaulted ceilings, patio doors to the garden and an en-suite shower room. The kitchen is a very social space with the benefit of being able to house a large dining table and chairs and a study area. Off the kitchen is a good-sized utility room. At the far end of the property are 2 further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

To the outside the gardens extend to both sides and the rear. Laid to lawn with borders the front garden off the sunroom is fully stocked with mature shrubs and plants. This leads to a wonderful mini woodland, and delightful Jubilee Garden. There is ample parking and three good sized sheds.
