Features and description
This former chapel is being sold as Lot 6 of the former Shapwick School. The land included in Lot 6 is highlighted in light purple on the plan.
This property is a Grade II Listed former chapel which is ideally suited for a single (possibly two) residential units, subject to planning permission. This building was used as a classroom by the former Shapwick School. There has been an extension to the rear which, if taken down, would create a good sized garden. However, there is already a good sized front garden and the footprint at the rear does make the possibility of development greater in terms of overall floor area.
Shapwick is a popular village on the Polden Hills, surrounded by the beautiful Somerset Moors. Primary schooling is found in the neighbouring villages of Catcott and Ashcott, whilst Street is approximately five miles away, offering an extensive range of facilities including supermarkets, shopping, restaurants, a GP surgery and dentist. Opportunities for outdoor pursuits in the area are abundant; Shapwick Heath National Nature Reserve is two miles away, the Mendip Hills AONB 11 miles, the Quantock Hills AONB 17 miles and Exmoor National Park just 28 miles distant.
Taunton, the County Town of Somerset, is approximately 21 miles away. Taunton has excellent schools for boys and girls of all ages including Taunton School, Kings College, Queen’s College and King’s Hall, as well as Castle School. Taunton is home to the famous Somerset County Cricket Club, from which superb views can be enjoyed of the wonderful church towers which are so much a feature of Taunton. The town also has a good range of shopping facilities, including several supermarkets and the large Musgrove Hospital. The vibrant city of Bristol is also just 30 miles away, which is known for its lively social scene, excellent shopping, restaurants, recreational and business facilities. Bristol University is one of the best universities in the country.
Communication links in the area are excellent. The M5 is just 7 miles away, leading to Bristol to the north, Exeter to the south and to the national motorway network. There are regular rail services from Taunton Station, with regular services taking less than two hours to London Paddington. Bristol Airport, approximately 21 miles away, offers an excellent range of domestic and international flights.
