Lot 26 Former Church With Planning Permission For Conversion And Vacant HallAuction Date:
12th June 2024
Rookley Methodist Church, Niton Road, Rookley, Ventnor, Isle Of Wight, PO38 3NP
Key Features
Rookley is a quiet village located on the main A320 which runs North to South on the Island connecting Cowes, Newport and Shanklin. Centrally located it is an ideal location for commuting as well as access to the many beaches and tourist attractions the Isle of Wight has to offer.
This former Methodist Church sits in the heart of the village overlooking the village green. Built in 1859, a place of worship has remained on the site until Planning Permission was granted in 2024 for it to be converted to a two-bedroom residential dwelling offering an approximate internal floor area of 123 sq.m. (1,323 sq.ft). The site also benefits from the former community hall, which is a detached building situated to the rear of the Church which currently has an approximate internal floor area of 91 sq.m (979sq.ft). This offers scope and potential for further development, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable.
