Chapel House is a suburban estate in the outer west of Newcastle Upon Tyne, England. It is approximately 4 miles directly from the city centre. It is bordered by Chapel Park, Westerhope, West Denton, Blucher as well as Abbey Farm and Abbey Grange.
Before 2005, Chapel House had a large middle school named Chapel House Middle School which catered for about 500 children in the area and beyond. However, this was closed in 2005 when the outer west of Newcastle switched to two tier education.
