This former chapel for sale has been converted into a “unique” home with original features throughout. 

The Old Chapel, in Wiveliscombe, has had many uses over the years, having started out as a Methodist chapel, and later being used as an art gallery, a wine bar, a cafe and a holiday let.

The property was first converted from being a chapel in 2003 according to public planning applications, and as an art gallery was known as ‘Chapel Gallery’.
