ABOUT THE PROPERTY
Located in an absolutely stunning position is this superb hilltop detached residence offering character six bedroomed accommodation with no immediate neighbours and enjoying far reaching panoramic countryside views. The Old Chapel, as the name suggests was originally a small Christian chapel within this catchment known as Blakewell/Eastacott. The property enjoys a lovely large plot with attractive established gardens extending in all, to about 0.35 of an acre.
The accommodation, which now requires modernisation is very spacious and adaptable offering tremendous potential arranged over three levels and formerly incorporating a guest annexe.

On the ground floor is a large entrance porch with store and workshop to the rear, entrance hallway, dining room with oil fired Rayburn, large living room with wooburning stove and wide windows with sliding patio doors taking full advantage of the surrounding countryside. Leading off the dining room is a galley style kitchen, also with patio doors and a utility store room off. From the hallway, stairs rise to a split level floor providing three bedrooms and a large bathroom. A further staircase leads to the main landing, two bedroom and a bathroom, together with store room/former kitchen which leads to a further bedroom/sitting room with separate access. For layout and approximate room measurements please see the enclosed floorplan and refer to the Virtual Tour.
