The Chapel, Poulton

Sleeps 8 | Ref: TCP

4bed

The Chapel is a stunning conversion which combines original features with modern design to create a contemporary holiday home in the charming village of Poulton. Close to Cirencester and surrounded by beautiful countryside, this is a perfect base to explore the region.

Description

Between March and June 2019, a neighbouring property will be carrying out some building work which might cause some disturbance during working hours. This property is to the side of The Chapel away from all the core living spaces so we expect disturbance to be minimal. The workmen have assured us that the comfort of guests will be in constant consideration, however, we apologise for any inconvenience it may cause guests.

Summary

The Chapel is a beautiful property which sleeps eight guests in four bedrooms with three bathrooms. One of the bedrooms (ensuite) is situated in a lovely annexe in the garden. Formerly the village chapel, the property has been finished in a contemporary style, with bright, spacious rooms, and fabulous oak bi-fold doors which look out over the large garden.

This stunning property has modern facilities including wireless internet access, a large Smart TV and a stylish, well-equipped kitchen with roof lantern, flooding the room with light. These facilities are complemented by the many original features from the chapel, including the impressive arched oak entrance door, exposed Cotswold stone wall in the living room and high ceilings. There is a beautiful garden at the rear of the property, and off-street parking is available for up to five cars.

Location

The Chapel is located in the heart of the lovely village of Poulton, with its renowned pub, well-stocked village shop and Post Office. The village is five miles away from the Roman town of Cirencester, the largest market town in the Cotswolds, and is also close to many other picture-postcard Cotswold villages, including Bibury, Barnsley and Fairford, with the stunning Coln Valley just a short drive away.

As well as being close to the many beautiful towns and villages of the Cotswolds, Poulton is also well placed for exploring further afield places, such as Bath, Oxford, or even a day-trip into London.
