DESCRIPTION

The Old Chapel is situated in a delightful rural position in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and enjoying elevated and far reaching countryside views to the south over open countryside with views of the sea to the distance. The house itself as the name suggests was originally built in 1842 as a Wesleyan Chapel and a dwelling house. It was converted and the roof raised in 1972. The property is non-Listed and has benefitted from significant 3 Ref: LCAA8418 improvement and updating by the current owners in the almost quarter of a century of their ownership.

The house is approached off a quiet country lane with to one side a driveway with access to the double garage over a shared right of way with the neighbouring property, Westmoors House. To the other side of the house is a driveway leading to a parking space.

The Old Chapel enjoys very broad frontage to the lane with access via the front or the side into the accommodation. From the front there is an entrance vestibule which opens into a broad and welcoming reception hallway which is used as an occasional reception room. To one side is the lovely triple aspect reception room with windows to the front, rear and doorway 4 Ref: LCAA8418 to the side. There is a large deep granite fireplace with woodburning stove and the room has beamed ceilings. Behind the reception hallway is a study or occasional bedroom with outlook to the rear. To the other side of the cottage is a kitchen/dining room which is a lovely dual aspect room with super views to the front overlooking the fields and the countryside beyond. The kitchen is comprehensively fitted with a range of units and there is an Alpha oil fired range cooker which serves the domestic hot water and central heating. To the rear of the cottage is a large utility area with shower room to one side, a separate cloakroom and beyond this doors open onto the triple sided conservatory which has a lovely outlook over the rear garden.

To the first floor there are four bedrooms, the principal of a particularly good size with lovely outlook and there is also a large family bathroom.

Outside the gardens extend to about 0.4 of an acre and are particularly mature. To one side there is an established static caravan which has been used as a holiday let and additional family/friends accommodation. It currently has two bedrooms, a kitchen and a living area which converts to an additional main bedroom.

To each side of the house are the parking areas and there is a detached double garage to one side.

LOCATION

The Old Chapel is situated in a delightful rural position between Penzance and St Ives. The views to the front and southerly aspect are quite delightful and it is a blissful location close to the amenities and communication at Penzance, the beautiful beaches around St Ives and some of the finest coastline in the western part of the county. Penzance is the nearest town and offers a wide range of leisure, commercial and retail facilities including a marina, gorgeous golden sandy beaches and a picturesque promenade with the Jubilee Pool. To the east is with the iconic St Michael’s Mount which sits in Mounts Bay. To the north east lies the resort town of St Ives which sits on the Atlantic coast and offers excellent surfing/bathing beaches together with a range of restaurants, shops, inns and the renowned Tate St Ives and all the other facilities commensurate with this popular seaside resort.

Penzance has a mainline railway station which is the final stop on the Penzance to London Paddington line. This provides a swift link direct to the capital (approximate travel time 4½ hours), the A30 runs through Penzance and acts as the main arterial road in and out of 5 Ref: LCAA8418 Cornwall, remaining largely dual carriageway all the way to Exeter where it joins the M5 to Bristol and the A303 to London. In addition, there are a myriad of other facilities nearby including a wonderful selection of rugged sandy beaches including Porthcurno with its iconic Minack Theatre above, inspiring coastal walks on the South West Coastal Footpath and there are beautiful established woods at the nearby Trevaylor.
