The Property
Set within a grand Grade II Listed Georgian building—formerly a nunnery and now thoughtfully arranged as a collection of individual homes—Number Six Chapel Brow occupies the central portion of a structure defined by its elegant sandstone façade and twin bowed bays. The house offers over 3,400 sq.ft. of versatile accommodation across two floors, with a layout that lends itself equally to multigenerational living, large families, or those seeking space to entertain. The house retains a number of original and period-style features, including tall sash windows with working shutters, detailed cornicing, and ceiling roses. Though sympathetic to its Georgian roots, the internal layout has been subtly adapted for modern comfort and privacy, including the addition of secondary double glazing.

A broad hallway, tiled in limestone and crowned with decorative plasterwork, establishes a sense of scale from the outset. Set to either side are two principal reception rooms, each with curved bay windows drawing in soft light from the private, tree-lined frontage. Both rooms are impressive in size, with fireplaces and stoves providing a focal point—offering elegant, welcoming spaces for formal entertaining or everyday family living. A small cellar is accessed via hidden floor access in the living room.

The kitchen/dining room at the rear of the property enjoys views of the communal gardens and access via a charming, covered side porch. A distinctive coffered ceiling and tiled floor frame the traditional cabinetry, which offers excellent storage and integrated appliances along three sides. There is ample space for a large dining table at the garden end of the room making it ideal for everyday gatherings or informal entertaining. Also on the ground floor is a generous double bedroom with an en-suite shower room. Its positioning offers obvious appeal for guest use or multigenerational living without compromise on space or privacy.

Upstairs, four further bedrooms radiate from a wide central landing. Each is a well-sized double with their own private en-suite. Several of the rooms enjoy outlooks across the formal gardens, with elevated glimpses stretching as far as the Scottish border on a clear day.

Externally
Chapel Brow enjoys a handsome approach through a tree-lined entrance, with Number 6 centrally placed for maximum privacy. The gardens are communal but generously proportioned, with neatly kept lawns, mature planting, and a sense of separation between each section of the development. To the front, greenery frames a broad terrace for seating or potted planting, while to the rear, shared lawns offer space to enjoy the outdoors without the demands of full-time upkeep. The property includes two allocated parking spaces.

Agents Note
The property is subject to a service charge of approximately £2,000 per year, covering upkeep of the communal grounds and shared areas, as well as buildings insurance, window cleaning, roof maintenance, and external painting.
