The M5 at Cullompton (Junction 28) is a straightforward journey of approximately 9 miles to the North.

Description - Converted in the 90s this former chapel has been in the same family for several years. Refurbished over recent years the chapel is of traditional local stone solid construction with some brick under a man-made slate roof and enjoys a lovely outlook on to the adjoining farmland.

The kitchen has a high sloping ceiling and is fitted with a range of units with electric double oven and hob. There is a downstairs WC and shower room.

On the first floor are three good size bedrooms overlooking the front garden, one with fitted cupboard. There is a recently re-fitted family bathroom.

Outside - A timber gate opens to a gravel parking area and near level lawn, with a path leading around to the front door and across the south east facing elevation.

Beyond a screen is a timber frame workshop/store in need of some repair with cladding thought to be made of fibre cement/asbestos.

A pedestrian bridge leads across the stream to a further large lawn area which directly backs on to open fields, with a raised terrace ideally placed to look back across to the Chapel.

Services - Mains electric. Mains water and a septic tank located in the farmers field across the lane - the current system is non-compliant and will be the purchasers responsibility. Electric boiler with central heating.
