Chapel Cottage, Axminster

About this property

Situated in the pretty and quaint village of Smallridge near Axminster, Chapel Cottage is a beautifully converted chapel, and provides a unique opportunity for couples and families to enjoy a truly special break.

Originally the heart of the community, this charming converted chapel has been lovingly furnished and equipped to provide a comfortable holiday cottage for couples or a family, in a beautiful part of East Devon, and close to the Dorset border. Dating from 1796, and retaining many character features, the accommodation is bright and airy with a sociable open-plan sitting room, dining area and cute kitchen . The ground floor also has a family cloakroom/shower room, and two steps lead up to a comfortable twin bedroom. The attractive master bedroom is located on the first floor, and it has its own en-suite shower room, and views out across the fields behind the chapel.

In front of the chapel is a small courtyard with a bistro table and chairs, and there is a secluded and gated gravelled garden with picnic bench, barbecue area, sun lounger and deck chairs just opposite the chapel, accessed across the road and down a short path. Next door to the chapel is the Ridgeway Country Hotel which provides opportunities for lunch or dinner for guests who would like a break from catering, or a drink before you prepare your own tasty meal. The Farm Shop at Tytherleigh is just over two miles away, and the shops and cafes in Axminster are just a short drive away, as is the famous River Cottage headquarters. With plenty to see and do in the area, including exploring the Black Down Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the stunning Jurassic Coast, Chapel Cottage is your perfect holiday base.
