DESCRIPTION: St Lukes Church comprises a striking detached former Church built of local sandstone under a tile roof. The building is not listed, nor in a conservation area, but is situated within the Exmoor National Park and is currently used a sales room for a local woodburning stove sales firm but has also been used by the current owners as a coffee shop. Historically the property has also had planning permission for the building to be divided into 3 properties for local affordable occupation (APP/F949/A/13/2209612) but could equally be occupied as a single dwelling subject to any necessary consents. The current owners have had plans drawn up for this scheme which are available on request.
The accommodation in brief comprises: Door into Entrance Hall with original Victorian style tiled floor, stained glass window, and doors into Office and Show Room. The Show Room has a triple aspect and a number of attractive architectural features which include ornate woodwork, stained glass windows, and deep window cills inherent with the age of the property which we believe to be around the early 19th Century. From the Show Room, there is access to the Old Vestry Store with immediate access to the rear courtyard which has a sunny west facing aspect. The Office also enjoys a triple aspect and incorporates an open chimney and fitted kitchen comprising a basic range of kitchen cupboard and drawers, stainless steel sink and drainer, on demand hot water tank, and a door leading again to the rear courtyard with access to the external WC.
