The property

Farthings, The Old Chapel is a thoughtfully converted chapel in St Austell, Cornwall, providing a distinctive base for couples looking to explore the south coast.

On arrival, pull into the designated covered parking space and step out beneath the shelter, taking a moment to admire the characterful exterior of this former chapel, set in a central yet slightly tucked-away setting, before using the secure key fob access and heading inside.

Step into the open-plan living space where wooden flooring flows throughout, adding warmth and enhancing the sense of heritage, then make your way to the sitting area where two leather sofas invite you to relax after your journey, whether watching a film on the TV or using the WiFi to map out the next day.

The space leads naturally into the dining area, where a table for two sets the scene for slow breakfasts or home-cooked evening meals shared together.

Continue into the kitchen where soft blue fixtures introduce a subtle splash of colour, creating an inviting backdrop as you prepare dishes with ease and move seamlessly between cooking and dining.

When sleep calls, head through to the double bedroom and settle in for a restful night, before waking and stepping into the bathroom where soft blue tones continue alongside wooden flooring, offering a soothing place to enjoy either a long soak or a refreshing shower.

Although there is no outdoor space, a shop and pub sit just a short walk away, making daily essentials and dining out simple.

Head out to Fowey to wander along its waterfront, browse independent shops along winding streets and pause at a café overlooking the estuary, or visit Mevagissey where colourful cottages circle a working harbour, fresh seafood is served in local eateries and coastal paths reveal sweeping sea views, while the Eden Project offers immersive experiences through rainforest and Mediterranean biomes alongside elevated walkways and seasonal outdoor displays.

Nearby, the Lost Gardens of Heligan provide woodland trails, productive gardens and hidden sculptures to uncover, while Charlestown Harbour presents tall ships, historic quays and a maritime museum, and the South West Coast Path invites scenic clifftop walks with ever-changing coastal views and wildlife spotting opportunities.

Farthings, The Old Chapel makes a great base for a Cornish escape.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
