2 bed detached house for sale

Harbertonford, Totnes, Devon TQ9

As you walk up the lane to the Old Chapel, in February, you can see a bank of snowdrops on your left. In March and April there will be primroses and violets in the grass verge on your right.

Walk through the door from an open porch into the stone flagged hallway. The main Bedroom is to the left. The key in the door of this former Sunday School room is heavy and 14cm long! There's an old stove in the hearth, open brickwork, a view over the garden and custom built shed.

Straight ahead from the hallway is a door to the garden. On the right is a door to the open plan living area. The galley kitchen with its gas fuelled Aga, Belfast sink and wooden fittings is on the right, the bathroom on the left.

There are impressive high ceilings and gothic arched windows giving a sense of light filled openness that is rare to find. The baptismal pool is under the exposed floorboards. Four steps take you up onto the original preaching platform; above this is the North facing oriel window engraved with the date 1799. Two large radiators and a wood burning stove create a warm and inviting atmosphere, ideal for relaxing during the colder months.

From the living area an open tread staircase leads to the mezzanine sleeping area. An oriel window faces South. An arched door opens onto steps that lead down to the garden.

A spacious loft adds an extra dimension, offering potential for conversion into additional living space, a studio or peaceful retreat, all under the eaves of this unique building.

A pretty garden wraps around the rear and side of the Chapel. Memorial stones are surrounded by a small pond, shrubs and flowering trees.
