Lot 103 Character Property For ImprovementAuction Date:
1st May 2025
The Old Chapel, Sithney, Helston, Cornwall, TR13 0RN
On the instructions of the Executrix
A rare opportunity to acquire this former ecclesiastical building located within the charming hamlet of Sithney. It is understood the building dates back to the mid 19th Century and served the local community for over one hundred years. Subsequently, the chapel was converted to a detached dwelling with many of the materials for conversion having reportedly been reclaimed from the chapel, including the library area which was constructed utilising wood from the chapel's organ.
The building now provides extensive space over four levels, with abundant concealed storage areas, in a layout which reflects its previous use and vast history. The lower ground floor has most recently been utilised for storage, having been reportedly once imagined as a nuclear fallout shelter and self-contained living space, while the main living space offers flexible accommodation full of character and includes a kitchen, library area, living and dining space.
The top floor offers extensive views to the rear across the Cornish countryside and incorporates master bedroom with study, shower room and ample further space in an open-plan layout. There is extensive outside garden space including a greenhouse, unfinished outbuilding, former outside W.C. and parking area. A programme of improvement works are now required throughout with the potential to create a stunning living space in an enviable location. Individuals may also wish to consider reconfiguration of the existing accommodation to create further bedrooms or sub-division of the property to create multiple dwellings, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable.
The hamlet of Sithney, which has a church and primary school, is nestled within the Cornish countryside a short distance from Helston which offers a comprehensive range of shopping and other amenities.
