The Old Chapel, Malpas welcomes you into a beautifully appointed kitchen, finished with elegant French-polished timber units and equipped with everything you need to prepare meals for two, including an electric oven and hob, coffee machine, microwave, dishwasher, fridge / freezer and washer / dryer. Step through into the light-filled sitting area, where two inviting sofas and a Smart Television sit beneath tall, vaulted ceilings and exposed timber beams, while a picture window frames the ever-changing waterscape of the Malpas River. Climb to the mezzanine level to find a cosy dining spot beneath a Velux window, perfect for lazy breakfasts or intimate evening meals, and a well-appointed bathroom offering a bath with shower over, wash basin, heated towel rails and WC.
Down a few steps, the indulgent bedroom offers a peaceful retreat, complete with a sumptuous king-size bed dressed in soft linens, a wall-mounted television, ample wardrobe space and glorious views across the water. While The Old Chapel has no private outdoor space of its own, its riverside setting more than compensates, and convenient on-street parking can be found nearby, ideal for effortless arrivals.
Picture mornings spent watching boats glide past your picture window, the Malpas River shimmering in the early light. Wander riverside footpaths to Boscawen Park or Malpas Pond, then settle into the local pub for a leisurely lunch just a short stroll from your door. As dusk falls, retreat to your cosy sitting room, the nautical touches and gentle creak of timber beams wrapping you in the warmth of this enchanting Cornish hideaway.
