To be sold with unauthorised occupants in residence, a detached church enjoying a prominent roadside location with generous parking within one of the area’s most eagerly sought locations. Thought to have been built in 1866, so more than 150 years old, a two storey church with mellow stone elevations under a re-covered concrete tiled roof. The property is warmed by oil-fired heating and has been looked after, extended and improved over recent years. It is not listed and forms a solid ‘blank canvas’ for a number of uses, subject to planning consent, including residential conversion, commercial/retail or leisure use. It could also continue as place of worship or education. The church is entered through a porch opening into a spacious hall (9.1m x 2.8m) to one corner of which is a lift for easy access to the Sunday school downstairs. The hall opens on to the main church (10.6m x 9.1m) featuring a striking 6.76m high timber ceiling, the organ remains in situ and is included in the sale. Stairs behind the pulpit descend to a useful ante-room (4.38m x 4m) and the Sunday school hall (9m x 8.6m). Off the hall is a very generous modern kitchen (4.5m x 4.4m) plus a modern extension (6m x 3.76m) containing male, female and disabled wc’s plus a small kitchenette. In total the building provides close to 265sqm (2,860 sqft) of space. Outside space is also extensive with a plot of approximately ¼ of an acre allowing for large carpark to one side and a garden area to the other. Attached to the rear of the building is a useful store and the boiler room. Feock is a highly revered address and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty located between Truro and Falmouth where the village overlooks the picturesque Pill Creek. Within 2 miles is the long-established and well-known Punch Bowl & Ladle pub. The main A39 Truro to Falmouth road is approximately 1.5 miles away providing easy daily commuting to a huge range of shopping, schooling, communal, leisure and health facilities. The Carrick Roads sailing waters, considered to be amongst the best in the world are nearby and the King Harry ferry provides easy access across the Fal River onto the scenic Roseland Peninusla and 7 miles away by ferry, the exclusive village of St Mawes. Services: Mains water and electricity are connected to the property. Private septic tank drainage. Oil-fired central heating. EPC: The Church has not yet been de-registered as a place of worship and therefore is exempt from requiring an EPC. Wayleaves, Easements & Rights of Way: The sale will be subject to and with the benefit of all existing wayleaves, easements and rights of way as may exist.
