General Comments - Junk and Disorderly has been part of Probus for over forty years when the vendor purchased the building from a local lady. It ceased being a Methodist chapel some years before this, possibly in the 1970s. The business was open six days a week until Covid and was a landmark within the village with people driving long distances to see what treasure they could find within this huge building. The vendor is retiring and therefore the chapel is for sale for the first time since the 1980's. It is a handsome traditional stone building that was probably built in the late 1800's and located in the heart of the village and within walking distance of the shops and village centre. The neighbouring Sunday School was converted into houses in the 1990's. The chapel is currently only open on Thursdays and it is possible to purchase the building and contents and continue with the current business. A feature is the magnificent ceiling rose and deep cornices. There are two floors, lots of windows a small kitchen area and w.c. Surprisingly the building is not listed.
The Chapel offers a rare opportunity to purchase a large building situated in the heart of the village with enormous potential for development. Whilst there is no planning permission currently granted for conversion into residential use, it is our experience that this would be very likely and although there is limited outside space this is the norm for chapels.
Location - Probus is a thriving community approximately six miles east of Truro and a little further west of St. Austell. The village has an excellent range of everyday facilities including Parish Church, public house, primary school, farm shop, general stores with post office, village hall, Chinese and Indian takeaways and even a fish and chip shop. A very regular bus service connects to both St. Austell and Truro and here there are a wider range of facilities including banks, building societies, schools, colleges and main line railway link to London (Paddington). The village is also easily accessible to the picturesque Roseland Peninsula and many of the beaches along the south Cornish coast.
