Chapel Park stands as a significant Victorian residence with Georgian influences, stationed on an elevated plot about half a mile from Bideford’s bustling port. Originally established in the 1870s as a captain's home for local mining, this unlisted property offers not only a glimpse into the past but also flexibility for future development.
Set within approximately 0.8 acres of well-tended grounds, this property boasts gated access and an impressive gravel driveway, ensuring both privacy and allure. The expansive gardens feature mature landscaping, while the detached triple garage adds further utility.
The interior of Chapel Park showcases generous living spaces with plenty of natural light streaming through large period windows. The drawing room measures over 24 feet in length and features an inset wood burner, creating a warm environment suitable for gatherings. The adjacent dining room has French doors leading to the garden, enhancing its appeal.
A versatile study on the ground floor includes an en suite bathroom and could easily serve as extra guest accommodation or be transformed into a stunning kitchen/dining space—subject to necessary permissions.
Proceeding upstairs, there are four double bedrooms with high ceilings and dual aspects that invite ample sunlight. The principal suite offers an en suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, while another bedroom also provides en suite facilities.
Externally, the grounds are equally impressive with potential for enhancement and expansion. Notably, traditional stone outbuildings at the bottom of the garden hold promise for conversion into holiday rentals or additional living quarters with proper planning consent.
Chapel Park represents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive home rich in character and versatility, ripe for thoughtful renovation that could elevate its status further as either a prestigious family residence or a potential income-generating venture.
