To the first floor there is a partial MEZZANINE floor, and a further two dining areas. Outside is a self contained detached hall.

A former chapel, known as Underwood Chapel, is situated on Underwood Road in Plympton. Originally built in circa 1850, the chapel was built with two porches so that it could quite easily be converted into two cottages with planning permission. To the ground floor there is a generous sized reception room with a partial mezzanine floor, vaulted ceiling with wooden beams and wooden floor. There are two kitchens areas and a dining area, with a Lamona hob, Lamona dishwasher and a built in Hotpoint oven and grill. A spacious hallway leads to two separate WC's with wash hand basins. Double glazing and gas central heating throughout.

The second floor is where you access the mezzanine, two dining areas and useful storage cupboards in the eves. Double glazing and gas central heating.

In addition to the rear of the Chapel, there is a detached self-contained outbuilding with a kitchen and a studio. Double glazing throughout.

Built alongside the Chapel to the front of the building is the Donkey Shed. Originally used to store donkeys, which was the transport back in the 19th Century. People would come out to preach there, so the Donkey Shed was a stable where they would put their pony/donkey which they rode on to get there. Pre Covid19 pandemic, the Donkey Shed was used to house a nativity scene at Christmas. So that's the origin of why it is called the Donkey Shed.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to view this rare and quirky chapel with huge potential.
