An historic chapel with original features including stained glass windows has hit the market - and you could get five homes for the price of one.

That's because the unusual property has been converted into a three-bed home and four two-bed flats which are almost complete.

All of it could be yours for £730,000.

The old building, in Sherburn Hill about five miles from Durham, has original features including arched stained-glass windows and plaster coving, the Victorian stair spindles and leaded glass windows.

Estate agents H&H Land & Estates say it sone of the most unusual properties they’ve sold.

Helen Forbes, sales advisor, said: "Converted chapels are not uncommon, but The Old Chapel at Sherburn Hill has been transformed by the owners with exceptional care and attention to detail into a really wonderful home.

“But this property also offers a completely different dimension of investment value by way of the four adjoining flats. They’re close to completion, and the lucky buyer will be able to tap into their rental potential with minimum outlay and delay.”

Downstairs the main chapel has a hallway, entertaining space, kitchen-diner, sitting room and conservatory.
