The property

Kirby Stephen 2.6 miles.

Kaber Chapel sits in the peaceful village of Kaber near Kirkby Stephen in Cumbria and offers families and friends a striking conversion where its heritage blends seamlessly with modern comfort, complete with a warm indoor hot tub, infrared sauna, indoor barbecue and a superb position between the Lake District National Park and the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Built in 1891, the former chapel still reflects its origins, a feeling that becomes clear the moment you arrive and step into the impressive open-plan living space, where the full-height ceiling creates a sense of freedom and the original altar rail and lectern remain as gentle reminders of the building’s history.

Tiled flooring guides you through the spacious layout towards the kitchen area, home to a sleek black Aga resting against deep red floor tiles that add richness and depth, while the dining and sitting areas encourage relaxed time together, especially beside the woodburning stove after a day out.

A utility room offers extra practicality and the first-floor sitting room provides a calmer corner for slower moments, and as you approach the mezzanine the flooring shifts to oak, adding a natural warmth underfoot.

The five bedrooms are arranged for ease and comfort, with a ground-floor king-size room featuring an en suite walk‑in shower, two additional ground-floor twin rooms ideal for mixed groups, and two first-floor king-size rooms each with their own en suite, one including a whirlpool bath; an extra ground-floor shower room also houses the infrared sauna.

In a rebuilt area of the property, an indoor wooden hot tub creates a serene and intimate retreat with soft lighting and warm timber surroundings, while the indoor barbecue hut provides a distinctive space for shared meals on cushioned benches.

Outside, the garden offers further seating and a barbecue for outdoor dining, with ample parking and EV charging for ease.

With both national parks within easy reach, the chapel places dramatic scenery, peaceful walking routes and classic market towns close by, and within an hour’s radius guests can visit Aysgarth Falls with its beautiful cascades, the grand gardens and ruins of Lowther Castle, and the sweeping views surrounding the Ribblehead Viaduct, making this an inspiring base for anyone seeking memorable time in Cumbria.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £500.
