DESCRIPTION The Old Chapel is situated on the River Taw, just off Kersham Bridge in Bridge Reeve, approximately a mile from Chulmleigh. The property is of traditional stone construction under a pitched slate roof with a further cob building under a galvanised iron roof. There are also two adjoining tin sheds, previously used as stabling/garage/storage to the rear. As well as a Methodist Chapel, the main building was formerly a School House, craft shop and is currently used as a Storeroom/Workshop. The Chapel has been well maintained by the current owners who have replaced the ceiling and roof, repointed the exterior walls and renewed the main feature window. The property stands in approximately 0.75 of an acre of amenity land overlooking the River Taw and benefits from a large wildlife pond which was imaginatively designed by the current owners.
