The Pain: It’s listed and there are a few restrictions here that won’t suit everyone. The chapel must be kept as an office or for light industrial use while the school house can be converted to residential use.

In the chapel, you can’t remove the pews, so you’ll have to add a false floor above them. You can’t remove the organ either. Or the headstones in the garden.

The agent thinks it will cost around £50,000 to convert.

The Gain: This is an ideal set up for someone looking for a live/work unit in a lovely rural location. The agent says artists, yoga teachers and the like are showing an interest.

Tavistock is a thriving market town (voted best market town in 2003) and is situated on the edge of the Dartmoor National Park in West Devon – so this manages to combine access to town life with that rural getaway you’ve dreamed of.
