Commercial EPC G (295) — energy performance poor
Covenant prohibits sale of intoxicating liquor on premises
A substantial Grade II‑listed former Wesleyan chapel occupying a prominent site in The Lizard village. The main hall offers dramatic ceiling heights, sash windows with countryside and partial sea views, a gallery, pulpit and organ — a rare blank canvas for conversion or specialist commercial use, subject to listed‑building constraints and planning consents.
This freehold offers generous internal volume (circa 1,102 sq ft), a large plot relative to immediate village infill, off‑street parking and mains services including oil central heating. The building dates from 1864 and retains many period features: ornate plasterwork, high ceilings (approx. 5.8m), timber pews and an impressive gallery — elements that will appeal to buyers seeking character and scope to create a distinctive home or destination space.
Important practical points: the property carries Grade II listed status, so alterations will require listed‑building consent and may limit extent of change. The building requires refurbishment and adaptation works; the commercial EPC is G (295). There is a covenant preventing the sale of intoxicating liquor on site. Council Tax is currently noted as exempt. Buyers should allow time and budget for specialist conservation work, planning approvals and possible restrictive conditions tied to the listing.
Well suited to an experienced developer, architect‑led buyer or investor who values historic character and coastal village location. For those seeking straightforward move‑in living, expect a conversion project rather than a turnkey property.
