Barnoldswick home named as one of the coolest in the UK
The Old Chapel House is a Grade-II listed former 18th-century Baptist Chapel that has been renovated to create a luxurious and contemporary holiday home by the owner Laura Hudson.
Retaining many period features, including the original timbers and two of the chapel windows, the original arched doorway opens to reveal a stunning open-plan kitchen and lounge.

Last year, Laura excavated the old deconsecrated graveyard to the front of the Chapel to provide great off-road parking for guests, which retains one of the original gravestones dated 1826.
Managed exclusively by Earby-based lettings agency cottages.com, the property, that can sleep up to eight people, has a spa and beauty salon next door, which Laura also owns and transformed from a dilapidated second-hand furniture shop.
Speaking of the success, cottages.com Area Manager Julie Winder said “We would like to congratulate Laura on this prestigious accolade from The Sunday Times, though we must say that it doesn’t come as much of a surprise!
