The Chapel - Telford

The Old Chapel is a duplex apartment inside a converted village chapel in Little Dawley, on the quiet southern edge of Telford. Walk up the stairs from the entrance hall and the first thing you notice is the original vaulted ceiling, with tall arched windows and exposed beams overhead.

LIVING SPACE

The open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area is where everyone ends up. There is plenty of comfortable seating, a large TV and a projector screen for film nights, and the arched windows let in lots of natural light. The kitchen has an oven, hob, microwave and dishwasher, with the cookware and utensils you need to cook for a group. The dining table seats 6.

SLEEPING

Sleeps 8. Two double bedrooms on the main floor each have their own en-suite with a bath and shower. The third bedroom is on the mezzanine. All three bedrooms have zip and link beds, made up as a king or two singles, so just let us know which you would like before you arrive. A double sofa bed in the lounge, with bedding provided, sleeps two more.

BATHROOMS

Three bathrooms plus a separate WC, so mornings stay easy even with a full house.

OUTSIDE AND PARKING

There is a courtyard to the front. The private driveway fits three cars or two vans, with room for one more van on the road outside, which makes this a practical base for work crews.

GOOD TO KNOW

The apartment is reached by a flight of stairs from the entrance hall, so it is not suitable for guests who need step-free access. Free WiFi, a workspace and a washing machine are included. Dogs are welcome.

THE AREA

There are good country walks nearby. Ironbridge Gorge and its museums, including Blists Hill Victorian Town, are about 8 minutes' drive, and Telford Town Park, Southwater and Telford Shopping Centre are a short drive away. Halesfield and Stafford Park are an easy commute if you are here for work.
