Description

Set within the peaceful village of Ruswarp, this exquisitely restored chapel is a remarkable blend of heritage architecture and upscale contemporary living. Thoughtfully reimagined, the home retains its ecclesiastical charm with arched windows, exposed beams, and a working organ—while offering the refined comforts of a private spa retreat.

From the moment one enters, the property makes a striking impression. The open-plan living area is framed by high ceilings and historic stonework, with sophisticated décor, leather seating, and a grand dining table ideal for shared meals. A modern kitchen, fitted with premium appliances, connects effortlessly to both the dining and outdoor areas, allowing for easy entertaining.

The wellness suite is a standout feature: a serene indoor space with a Jacuzzi, stone-clad sauna, rainfall shower, and heated loungers—perfect for winding down in total privacy. Elegant bedrooms are spread across multiple levels, including a light-filled master with en-suite, and a top-floor retreat offering a tranquil reading nook and stylish freestanding bath.

Outdoors, a manicured lawn and covered dining area provide a quiet escape, ideal for morning coffee or alfresco dining surrounded by garden views and birdsong.

Whether curled up by the fire, soaking in the spa, or exploring the nearby coastal paths, guests will find an atmosphere of timeless charm and restorative comfort at every turn.
