This former chapel sits in an elevated position offering guests a memorable stay, a short walk away from the village pubs and shop, and 3 miles from Barnstaple’s thriving town centre.
Situated in an elevated position, this former chapel promises a memorable stay for friends, family and a couple of canine companions. Up to six humans and two happy hounds will appreciate the property’s unique styling and sociable, open-plan, double-height living space.
Upon entering, guests are greeted by the original vestibule before stepping into the main living area, where high ceilings create a sense of space. The contemporary interior boasts modern comforts seamlessly integrated with the original features and underfloor heating that Rover will adore. Comfortable sofas and a spacious dining table accommodate everyone for shared meals. The kitchen area is well-equipped with a dual fuel cooker, an instant boiling water tap on the island unit, and integrated appliances. A bespoke staircase, crafted from the church’s original seating, leads to a mezzanine level with a small games table and views down into the living space. Continuing downstairs, you’ll find a utility room and two bedrooms with super-king-size zip-and-link beds (convertible into twins), with the larger room boasting an en-suite shower room, while the adjacent bathroom has a roll-top bath. A rear hall connects these rooms, with bi-folding doors leading to the garden. Climb the staircase from the rear hall to the master bedroom with a super-king-size bed, roof lights and an en-suite bathroom. The garden features artificial grass and ample seating space. Quality garden furniture and an outdoor fireplace invite guests to relax and plan their next adventure while Fido explores the fully enclosed borders.
Nestled in the village of Bickington, the chapel offers easy access to local amenities, including a pub and a shop with a post office. For those seeking a traditional seaside holiday, a choice of beautiful beaches such as Saunton Sands, Westward Ho!, and Woolcombe (all within 11 miles) await, all of which have large areas for furry friends to run and play year-round. Don’t miss the National Trust property of Arlington Court (10 miles), where dogs on leads are welcome to join you in exploring the expansive estate and gardens.
