| History | Built in1886, the site was originally leased as glebe land/Dean's Tythe in 1805 from the local Anglican Church. The Chapel was developed and expanded in 1832 and completely restored towards the end of the C19th. The Chapel was closed in 1984 and converted by the first owner from 1986. |
| Holiday Letting | The current vendors, over the past 6 years, have successfully holiday let The Old Chapel throughout the summer months through a local holiday letting firm. The Chapel has enjoyed a 100% occupancy rate every year for the past 6 years. Further information regarding the income generated is available upon request. |
| Location | Sancreed Churchtown is pre-mediaeval, the immediate surrounding area historic. St Creda is associated with the settlement. There is a Holy Well close by and the prehistoric site of Carn Euny to the south. The Beacon heath above Sancreed is a protected Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where Dartmoor ponies can be found. The old mining area lies to the west, but Sancreed is particularly associated with artists from the Newlyn School (the two Stanhope-Forbes and Thomas Cooper Gotch lie in the churchyard and Sancreed is know as The Artists' Church). John Millar lived and painted in the Old Rectory, (located across from The Old Chapel) and John Le Carre stayed and wrote there in the 1960s / 70s. Today, the local people are retired or professionals - farmers, artists, musicians, teachers and writers. The reservoir below at Drift, one mile away, is a haven for rare bird life. |
