Summary - ST SAVIOURS CHURCH, QUEENS ROAD PO37 6AN
5 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Rare listed church hall with planning for a 5‑bed coastal home near Shanklin seafront.
Planning consent for 5-bed, ~2,000 sq ft conversion
A rare coastal conversion opportunity in Shanklin Old Village: St Saviour’s church hall has listed building consent to convert the large vaulted hall into a two‑storey, 5‑bedroom home of about 2,000 sq ft. The building retains striking stone elevations, mullioned windows and dramatic vaulted ceilings that will create striking open-plan living and generous bedroom space once converted. The site sits a short walk from the cliff steps, seafront and village amenities, with off‑road parking and an enclosed west-facing garden.
This is a project for a buyer prepared to work with the Diocese and local conservation officers; the building is listed and will require sensitive restoration. A modest ongoing service charge of about £100 is budgeted for communal maintenance and insurance, and a community contribution of around £21,000 (section 106) is payable on occupation. Utilities are connected, although the particulars also note an absence of mains gas to the property.
Practical considerations are material: listed status and the need for specialist repair and refurbishment will add cost and require consent. The property has an EPC rating of G and will need upgrading for efficiency. The long 999‑year lease removes short-lease risk, but the tenure is leasehold and the location records above-average local crime and area deprivation indices — factors to weigh alongside the exceptional coastal setting.
For an architect-led buyer or developer, this offers rare seaside character, generous internal volume and a planning-backed route to a substantial family home or premium holiday residence. Expect restoration, conservation-grade works and liaison with the Diocese and planning authority as part of delivery.
