at an angle
To wydaje mi się najbardziej naturalne: the chancel is at an angle / is set at an angle / is built at an angle.
If you stand in the nave centre aisle and look towards the altar, you will notice that the Chancel is built at a pronounced angle to the nave.

The chancel, which is built at a slight angle to the rest of the church and originally extended further west, has in its side walls lancet windows
