Set amid glorious countryside near the North Devon coast, this Grade II-listed chapel conversion boasts far-reaching views over the River Taw and the Torridge Estuary. Located on the outskirts of Ashford, midway between Braunton and Barnstaple, this superb property welcomes up to six guests and two lucky pups. Spend your days roaming sandy beaches, coastal trails and the rugged moorland of Exmoor National Park. Then return here to sip wine on the patio while drinking in those views.
Perched in an elevated position, this stunning chapel has been lovingly renovated to a high standard throughout. Vaulted, beamed ceilings and wood panelling add to the property’s character, while traditional furnishings blend with contemporary touches to spectacular effect. The building’s original use is highlighted in the kitchen, where pews have been made into benches and the old lectern is now a bookcase. The property invites relaxation for all the family, from the laid-back lounge with bi-fold doors leading outside to the foosball table for kids, big and small. When night falls, take your pick from a ground-floor double with a Jack-and-Jill bathroom (sharing access from the hallway), or head upstairs to find a second double and a twin which share use of the family shower room. Outside, an enclosed garden with a gently sloping lawn, garden furniture and a BBQ invites al fresco feasts while your top dog plays on the grass.
Welcoming waggy tails all year round, the beautiful beach at Saunton Sands is just 5 miles away, while the nearby beaches of Woolacombe (9.5 miles) and Westward Ho! (13 miles) have some summer restrictions. You and your happy hound will be spoilt for choice when it comes to walkies with the South West Coast Path tracing the coastline and Exmoor National Park starting just 12 miles away.
