A clever conversion has created a family house with loads of fantastic features

It is pretty obvious from the outside what this sensitively converted home was once used for. The interior is full of nods to The Old Chapel's past as well, the ecclesiastical details having been kept and made use of in the restyling of this unique four-bedroomed residence.

Situated in High Street, Bempton, a village close to the seaside resort of Bridlington, The Old Chapel is on the market with Hunters, for offers in excess of £625,000. The agent says: "The Old Chapel is an exquisitely finished conversion with outstanding detailing throughout. The original building dates back to 1903, having formally been a chapel with the ecclesiastical styling evident throughout.

"The chapel has been sympathetically restored by the current owners who have created a series of inspirational ideas to bring the property to life whilst incorporating its unique features. It offers versatile living and is one which is truly not to be missed."

Its original front door opens into an entrance hall which, like a number of the other rooms, has an ornate original stained glass window in place. The open-plan kitchen, diner, and living room has a stone floor, original wooden ceilings, and a staircase leading to another sitting/dining area, with a glass balustrade overlooking the space below.

The main bedroom has an original beamed ceiling, an en suite shower room, and a staircase to a further double room. The second bedroom has French doors opening into a rear conservatory, a vaulted ceiling and exposed brick walls.

Bedrooms three and four both have wooden floors, vaulted ceilings, and exposed beams as features, while a freestanding copper bath is a main feature of the bathroom.

The conservatory opens onto a stunning garden that has been designed with various private seating areas, plants, and shrubs laid over multiple levels. A summerhouse/home office has a kitchen area, shower room and bedroom with underfloor heating.
