Get in touch with your spiritual side at this converted chapel just 3 miles from pretty village Braunton. With beautiful bifold doors and stunning vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, you’ll soon see the true character of this property. Renovated to a high standard with contemporary decor throughout, the chapel retains its traditional roots through finishing touches and furnishings. Look out over the River Taw estuary from the home’s elevated position, sipping wine on the patio just three steps down from the lounge.

Whether you’re relaxing in the lounge taking in the views or sitting quietly in the enclosed garden, you’ll feel part of the countryside here. You’re reminded of the building’s original use in the kitchen/diner, where pews are made into benches and the old lectern is used as a bookcase. Nevertheless, the room has been brought into the 21st century with a football table for everyone to enjoy. Perfect for families of all ages, there’s a comfortable double bedroom on the ground floor with a Jack and Jill bathroom and two bedrooms upstairs that boast exposed stone and beams, one of which has the potential to be made into a king-size.

The cottage is set in a quiet location but there’s a pub just 2 miles down the road for a casual drink in the evenings, and the property has good road links to the wider area. Visit the historic Pannier Market in Barnstaple (4 miles), or take a trip to see Damien Hirst’s Verity on the harbour in Ilfracombe (10 miles). Be sure not to miss the rugged scenery of Exmoor (11 miles) and the South West Coast Path (13 miles).
