4 bed detached house to rent

Sparty Lea, Hexham NE47

Astonishing restoration and conversion of Sparty Lea Methodist Chapel.

Steeped in history and dating back to the mid-nineteenth century, this unique property enjoys an elevated position with stunning views across the Allen Valley.

Beautifully refurbished throughout, the accommodation combines the character and charm of the original chapel with modern fixtures and fittings, including updated wiring, plumbing, windows and heating.

The flexible layout centres around an impressive open-plan living, dining and kitchen space featuring original chapel doors, a striking mezzanine level and a 12kW log burner. The property offers four double bedrooms, three bathrooms and a useful utility room, with the lower ground floor providing a versatile additional bedroom, reception room or guest suite with its own access.

Externally, there is driveway parking for multiple vehicles and deceptively spacious wraparound gardens. Occupying an enviable hillside position, the property enjoys breathtaking rural views from both the gardens and principal rooms.

Finished to a high standard throughout, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy a beautifully restored chapel in a peaceful Northumbrian setting.
