Tucked within the picturesque landscape of west Devon is the Old Chapel. This early 20^th century sanctuary has been reinterpreted into a family home that maximises its compelling ecclesiastical interior.

The nave is now a spacious open plan living area, revolving around a central wood burning stove, with slender arched windows framing the coastal topography beyond. Reclaimed timber boards line the stripped-back ceiling, intermittently broken by restored rhythmic joists accentuating the drama of the pitched eaves. Levitating above the kitchen is a new plywood room housing an additional bedroom and study space which can be reached from a new stairwell wending its way between a repointed stone gable.

Downstairs the crypt has been extended to accommodate generous south-facing bedrooms that overlook a sloping garden and intimate courtyard. Sculpted niches have been recessed into the thick stone walls, housing subtle light fixtures.
