Property description
Nestled in the heart of the picturesque village of Kingskerswell, Chapel Cottage is a beautifully presented home full of charm and character. Originally built as a chapel, the property was thoughtfully converted by the current owners around 20 years ago and has recently undergone further updates, blending period features with stylish modern living.
Character details run throughout, including exposed beams, oak doors, high ceilings to the first floor, and traditional-style radiators. These sit comfortably alongside more recent improvements such as a newly fitted kitchen, redecorated interiors, new flooring, and a recently installed boiler, ensuring comfort and convenience.
The village itself is known for its vibrant and welcoming community, offering a range of amenities including shops, pubs, and schools—making it a wonderful place to call home. Situated on Church End Road, this historic property enjoys a rich heritage while offering everything needed for modern family life.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors with an inviting entrance vestibule, leading to the utility cupboard housing the boiler, with space and plumbing for a washing machine. From here, two steps take you down to the generous dining hallway, complete with wooden stairs to the first floor, a rear-facing window with a deep sill, and doors leading to the principal rooms.
The spacious living room is warm and welcoming, perfect for cosy evenings with family. It features a window with a deep sill, exposed oak beams set into wall recesses, and a door leading to the rear porch with storage, a stable door, and access out to the courtyard garden.
The modern yet contemporary shaker style kitchen is well-equipped with a range of matching wall and base level units comprising cupboards and drawers, sink and drainer unit, integrated dishwasher, integrated tall fridge freezer and a built in electric oven with four ring gas hob with extractor above.
The property offers three bedrooms: one on the ground floor and two doubles upstairs. The ground floor bedroom is a single room and would also make an excellent study or home office.
The first floor is particularly impressive, with a Juliet-style galleried landing overlooking the dining hall. Both double bedrooms are generously proportioned, featuring high ceilings, deep-sill windows, and access to the loft.
The family bathroom offers a space to relax and unwind with a white suite comprising, low level WC, pedestal wash hand basin, panelled bath with shower screen and shower attachment and part tiling to walls.
The courtyard garden, while modest in size, provides a peaceful outdoor retreat with space for potted plants or a small seating area. The property benefits from a peaceful location in the heart of the village, with easy access to nearby amenities and the beautiful Devon countryside.
Chapel Cottage has been lovingly maintained and sympathetically updated, with great care taken to preserve its character while enhancing energy efficiency and modern comfort. With its thatched roof, historic origins, and stylish interiors, this distinctive home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Kingskerswell’s heritage.
