The property is approached down a long drive to Chapel Point.Chapel Point consists of three private dwellings of which Chapel Point House is the principal house.

There is a gravelled turning circle in front of the house with plenty of garage space and parking. The front door leads into a central corridor off which lie the principal receptions rooms and kitchen. The kitchen has some of the best views from the property and looks out across Mevagissey Bay and St Austell Bay, to Rame Head in the far distance. Off the kitchen is the back door that leads out onto a private terrace with grass lawn below. Opposite the kitchen is the dining room which leads through to the sitting room with an open fireplace. A door goes through to the conservatory which itself has bi-fold doors that lead out onto a south facing terrace. Further down the corridor is the drawing room or “The Long Room” which has a magnificent wooden barrel ceiling and has retained all of the original Arts and Crafts features associated with John Campbell. The granite pillar and mantle are locally sourced and there is a wood burner in the fireplace. From The Long Room, stairs lead up to the principal bedroom. This bedroom is dual aspect with a wonderful vaulted ceiling and a private terrace. A door leads to its own dressing room and en-suite bathroom. The snug has an open fireplace and a corner bar.
