Built in 1876 and recently imaginatively and tastefully renovated this 5 star converted chapel overlooks the village green in the quiet Dorset village of. Sturminster Marshall with its traditional maypole, commemorative oak trees and thatched cottages and is just a short walk from a welcoming pub and the village general stores. Close to the Jurassic Coast, the New Forest and the south coast beaches it provides a perfect base for family or friends wishing to explore this beautiful and varied county.  The sophisticated accommodation has been arranged in a reverse level with a spacious open plan lounge that features the original beams with a gallery overlooking the formal dining area giving views of the green through the chapel windows. The large, modern designer kitchen diner opens onto a sheltered sunny rear courtyard garden with table and chairs for alfresco dining. The hallway, flooded with light from the chapel windows leads to the formal galleried dining area passing the two comfortable bedrooms, each with en-suite facilities. The owners have created a very special property with a welcoming and relaxing ambience and we recommend The Old Chapel very highly.
