The Property
Set along one of Corbridge’s most characterful streets, Chapel House is a handsome stone-built townhouse whose architectural presence is immediately defined by its central rose window and balanced façade. The house occupies a position that places you within easy walking distance of the village’s independent shops, cafés and well-regarded pubs, while offering a sense of privacy and calm that feels removed from the everyday bustle.

You enter into a welcoming sequence of reception rooms arranged in a clear and well-balanced layout. The principal sitting room is a comfortable and well-proportioned space, centred around a substantial dressed stone fireplace that provides a strong architectural focal point. Freestanding cabinetry and shelving sit comfortably alongside a sofa, three armchairs and a central coffee table, leaving the room feeling easy to live in and well suited to everyday use as well as relaxed entertaining. Light filters through a sash window, softening the palette and lending an understated elegance throughout.

Adjoining, the kitchen forms a characterful everyday space. Arranged beneath a vaulted ceiling with exposed timber trusses and rooflights, it is filled with natural light and a pleasing sense of volume. Shaker-style cabinetry and integrated appliances are set out with practicality in mind, while a small central table creates an informal spot for breakfast or coffee. A door opens directly from the kitchen to the courtyard, allowing the room to connect easily with the outside in warmer months.

On the other side of the house, the dining room is a space that feels both practical and quietly impressive. Painted beams draw the eye across the ceiling, while a wood-burning stove set within the original fireplace provides a strong focal point, lending the room a sense of permanence and warmth. There is ample space for a generous dining table, freestanding cabinets and a reading corner, with circulation around the room remaining easy and uncluttered. The staircase rises discreetly from this area, reinforcing the sense that the house has evolved organically rather than being imposed by later alteration.

Set discreetly to one side is a well-designed utility room fitted with an oven and hob, an integrated dishwasher and a double sink, with generous work surface providing valuable support for everyday routines. A door opens directly to the outside, making it particularly useful for day-to-day comings and goings.

Upstairs, the bedroom accommodation is arranged across the first floor, each room enjoying good natural light and a calm, neutral presentation. The principal bedroom is a particularly attractive space, featuring its own period fireplace and fitted joinery that provides useful storage without encroaching on the room’s proportions. Two further bedrooms provide flexible accommodation, one currently arranged as a comfortable guest room, the other set up as a study with fitted wardrobes but easily adapted as a child’s bedroom if required. In addition, there is a separate dressing room, offering valuable storage and further flexibility for everyday living. The main bathroom is positioned to serve the bedrooms comfortably, complemented by a separate shower room which adds practical convenience for daily routines.

Throughout the house, original features are thoughtfully retained and complemented by sympathetic updates, allowing the period character to remain at the forefront while ensuring the house works comfortably for modern living.

Externally
To the rear lies a walled courtyard garden, a private and sheltered space that feels distinctly removed from the village setting beyond. Enclosed and low maintenance, it offers an appealing spot for morning coffee, outdoor dining or potted planting, with enough enclosure to feel calm and protected. On-street permit parking is available outside the property whilst further parking is also available nearby within the village, completing a property that balances architectural interest, location and liveability in equal measure.
