Summary - THE CHAPEL HARBERTONFORD TOTNES TQ9 7TR
2 bed 2 bath Character Property
A dramatic Grade II chapel conversion with private garden and parking in Harbertonford village.
Grade II listed former chapel conversion with strong period features
A distinctive Grade II listed former chapel offering strong character in Harbertonford village, just south of Totnes. The open-plan living/kitchen with very high vaulted ceilings, arched Gothic windows and exposed floorboards creates a dramatic principal space; a mezzanine and loft area add useful sleeping and storage zones. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms make the layout practical for a couple or small family seeking character over conventional room arrangements.
The plot wraps around the rear and side with a mature, heavily planted garden, pond and good screening—quiet and private yet manageable in size. Off-street parking for two cars and a short walk to village amenities (shop, pub, primary school) add everyday convenience. Mains gas boiler and radiators provide familiar heating, and a wood-burning stove enhances the living area’s ambience.
Important practical points: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate repairs or extensions. The property’s granite walls appear uninsulated and the glazed units were fitted before 2002, so upgrading for energy efficiency may be required. The chapel’s large internal volume can be costly to heat; check service history and running costs. There is a medium flood risk—investigate location-specific flood reports and insurance implications before committing.
This home suits buyers who prize historic character and village living and who are prepared to manage listed-building constraints and some retrofit work for comfort and efficiency. For downsizers or buyers seeking a unique primary or second home in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the property offers a rare blend of theatrical interior space with private garden and parking.
