About this property

Welcome to The Old Chapel, The Hill, Millom, LA18 5JN

Originally constructed as a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel in the late 19th century, this remarkable property stands as a lasting testament to Cumbria’s rich industrial and cultural heritage. Built to serve a growing community during the height of the West Cumbrian iron ore boom, the chapel formed an integral part of village life, providing not only a place of worship but a central hub for social gatherings, education, and community events. In more recent years, the building has been thoughtfully and sympathetically converted into a unique private residence, carefully balancing character and practicality. The conversion has preserved the charm and integrity of the original structure, with its traditional stone construction, period proportions, and architectural features offering a wonderful sense of history and presence.
