Chapel Cottage (Smallridge), Axminster

About this property

Situated in the pretty and quaint village of Smallridge near Axminster, Chapel Cottage is a beautifully converted chapel that provides a unique opportunity for enjoying 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 all. Chapel Cottage is in a beautiful part of East Devon and sits close to the Dorset border. Dating back from 1796, and retaining many character features, the accommodation is bright and airy with a sociable open-plan sitting room, dining area and kitchen. The ground floor also has a family cloakroom/shower room, and two steps lead up to a comfortable twin bedroom. There is a further attractive bedroom located on the first floor, which has it's own en-suite shower room, with views across the fields that sit behind the Chapel.

In front of the Chapel is a small courtyard with a bistro table and chairs. You will also find 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 2 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 Jurassic Coast, Chapel Cottage is the perfect base for a Rural Retreat.
