Converted detached Chapel which is the subject of a comprehensive & well advanced renovation programme. Porch, hall, 2 bedrooms, open plan vaulted kitchen/living & dining room. Utility outbuilding. Off road parking. Views to the sea. EPC Rating: E

Situation - The Old Chapel being situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at the popular small hamlet of Higher Bal about ½ mile to the north-west of St Agnes, is therefore ideally positioned to access the town as well as numerous coastal walks of the area, walks on the Beacon and the surfing beaches of Trevaunance Cove and Chapel Porth.

There is a junction to the new A30(T) dual carriageway at Chiverton Cross about 4 miles to the south and the cathedral city of Truro, being the commercial and retail centre of Cornwall, is about 9 miles to the south. At Truro there is a station on the London Paddington line.

The Old Chapel - Purchased by the current owner in 2018 as a two-bedroom converted chapel in need of updating and repair, the current owner has embarked upon a good quality total renovation project to the exterior and interior of The Old Chapel, as well as improvements to a useful outside Utility Outbuilding.

Today the renovation works of a high standard are incomplete, but well advanced. The sale therefore presents an opportunity for a purchaser to take on and apply their own tastes and styles in completing the project. As the attached floor plan shows, the proposed accommodation is reverse level – as was the previous conversion – with, on the ground floor, an Entrance Porch, Entrance Hall with turning stairs off to the first floor, two Bedrooms and a Bathroom. The first floor presents an open-plan Kitchen, Dining and Living Room, with a quadruple aspect fully enjoying the views of the area and the sea.

Highlights of work which has been carried out to the current stage include:-

Reinforced concrete ring beam to secure all four walls and create a stable base for new roof timbers, slates and Velux windows
Installation of 3 kW roof solar panels
New Heritage look windows
Ground floor level screed and damp-proofed
Repairs to both gable ends
Internal walls rendered with marine grade tanking render from Cornish Lime and finished with KA tanking slurry
All exterior cement render removed to exposed stone and walls repointed with breathable Cornish Lime products
