Situated in the heart of Bronte Country, the area surrounding this magnificent 1926 chapel is just as stunning as the property itself. Visit the local country inn serving home cooked food just 100 yards away or take a stroll down into Oxenhope (0.5 miles). There is an abundance of tracks and trails to explore straight from the doorstep, including the renowned Bronte Way which runs directly across from the property. The popular village of Haworth is just 2 miles away boasting a wealth of quirky shops, quaint cobbled streets and a variety of eateries. Nearby, the famous Keighley & Worth Valley Railway (2 miles), an authentic steam railway brought to prominence in the film The Railway Children, provides a lovely day out for people of all ages. Wonderfully converted, taking inspiration from a host of world renowned artists, this stunning chapel combines original period features with a contemporary twist.
