About this property
This unique stone chapel conversion is situated in the picturesque village of Bampton which fans of Downton Abbey may recognise as the fictional village seen in the television series. Many delights of Oxfordshire are within easy distance including Burford, Blenheim and Oxford.
This unique, architect designed converted chapel, believed to have been constructed in around 1778 in Cotswold stone beneath a stone slate roof, retains many original features and has been finished to a high standard with a thoughtful mix of contemporary and antique furnishings. The double height living area features four original stained glass arched windows and a glass balustrade staircase to the first floor, creating a stunning open plan space. The en-suite master bedroom family bathroom and second bedroom with zip and link twin beds, which can be converted to a double on request, provide spacious accommodation on the first floor. An attractive courtyard to the rear of the house completes this very special holiday home for four guests.
Chapel House is situated in the picturesque village of Bampton, close to the Cotswolds and River Thames. Fans of Downton Abbey will recognise parts of Bampton, most notably St. Mary's Church and the library, which was used for filming outdoor scenes for the popular ITV television series. Although many amenities selling local produce can be found in Bampton, the larger city of Oxford and Witney town are in easy reach, offering an even greater selection of shops and places to eat. Kelmscott Manor, the country home of William Morris, founding member of the Arts and Crafts movement is just five miles away and welcomes visitors to enjoy the iconic interiors, gardens, gift shop and tearoom. The many delights of the Cotswolds are within a short drive including Burford, Bibury, Woodstock and magnificent Blenheim Place, to name but a few.

Loved the house, perfect location in a lovely village. The house was beautiful and everything was clean and well maintained. Can’t beat an open fire on a cold December evening!

We had a marvellous time at Chapel House. Bampton is an excellent location from which to explore the Cotswolds and wider area. The house itself was beautifully decorated and the facilities were first rate. The only improvements we would recommend are: a pull down blind to be fitted on the glass of each bedroom door as there was 'light leakage' between the two bedrooms via the small landing. This led to people being disturbed when occupants of one room went to bed before occupants of the other bedroom!
