Impressive Grade II chapel with planning pre-app; requires sensitive listed-building conversion..
Grade II listed Gothic Revival chapel, c.1874
A rare Grade II listed Gothic Revival chapel dating from 1874, offered freehold with positive pre-application advice from Cornwall Council for conversion to a single dwelling. The principal building (about 1,980 sq ft) presents dramatic high ceilings, large arched windows, a two-storey Sunday school at the rear and a separate stone garage/workshop. The plot is generous with lawned amenity space, ample off-street parking and is approximately 0.5 mile from the Tamar estuary and Cargreen Yacht Club.
This property will suit a buyer seeking a character-rich conversion project rather than a move-in home. The pre-application response is encouraging but highlights that any planning application must meet Cornwall Local Plan policies 4 and 7 and fully incorporate Historic Environment Planning (HEP) officer recommendations. The building has mains water and electricity, private drainage and sits in a very low-crime, rural hamlet setting with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband.
Important practical considerations: the Grade II listing and HEP concerns mean the conversion will require sensitive design, listed-building consent and likely additional professional input and costs. The current layout is non-domestic and, although the pre-app suggests support in principle where no community use exists, final consent is not guaranteed without full compliance with officer guidance. Buyers should budget for specialist conservation work and listed-building permissions.
For those prepared to work within listed-building constraints, the result could be spectacular: a single, very large, character home with generous rooms, tall ceilings and waterside countryside nearby. The site offers clear potential for a striking, one-off residence in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with good road links to Saltash and Plymouth.
