Barnstaple, EX31 3JT

Grade II listed former chapel, now converted 4 bed detached home. Wealth of original features, wrap-around garden, detached garage, separate 5.4-acre field and no onward chain.

Set in the peaceful rural hamlet of Harracott, just a short drive from Barnstaple, this impressive former chapel has been thoughtfully converted into a spacious and characterful Grade II listed 4 Bedroom detached residence.

Originally built in 1842, The Chapel seamlessly blends period architecture with modern living. Soaring vaulted ceilings, original timber floors and beautiful arched stained glass windows all reflect its rich heritage, while a striking ashlar bell turret crowns the west gable - subtly hinting at the building’s historic roots.

Constructed from rough stone rubble with fine ashlar detailing, the property retains many original architectural features, including pointed arch windows with hood moulds, cusped-headed lights, diagonal buttresses and a solid timber entrance door with decorative strap hinges. Above the entrance, a carved stone plaque bears a verse from Psalm 127: “Except the Lord build the house, their labour is but lost that build it.”

Inside, a welcoming Entrance Lobby leads to a mezzanine gallery overlooking the space below - a stunning, open-plan area where coloured light filters through stained glass onto the original wooden floors. The ground floor also offers a well-equipped Kitchen, WC, a flexible Bedroom or Study and 3 Reception Rooms, including a particularly grand space within the former chancel.

Upstairs, there are 3 further Bedrooms (2 with En-suite facilities) along with a generous Family Bathroom. Each room has been thoughtfully designed to reflect the building’s character while offering modern comfort and practicality.

Outside, the property is surrounded by mature, wrap-around gardens, a gated driveway, a Detached Garage and far-reaching countryside views.

Adding to its appeal is a separate approximate 5.4-acre field, located just across the quiet lane - perfect for equestrian use, a smallholding, grazing or simply enjoying the space and privacy that’s so rare in this part of North Devon.

Offered for sale with no onward chain, The Chapel is a rare opportunity to own a unique and historic home, full of charm and flexibility, in a truly idyllic setting.
