1 bed flat for sale

Station Road, St. Newlyn East TR8

The Old Chapel, a captivating historical building, was granted planning permission in the late 1990s for a transformation into nine distinctive dwellings. The conversion, which was completed in 2002, saw the creation of modern, spacious, and well-appointed apartments, blending contemporary comforts with the charm and character of the original structure. The apartments, each brimming with character, are housed within a striking edifice that remains a visual landmark, with its original facade beautifully preserved, making a bold statement when viewed from the curb side.

At the heart of the building, the large, imposing original main entrance stands proudly at the front, offering a communal access point for eight of the nine apartments.

Apartment No.7 occupies the top floor of the building, offering a unique combination of peace and privacy. Not only does this elevated position mean that there are no neighbours above, but it also provides access to a private loft area, further enhancing the apartment's sense of individuality and space.

Upon entering No.7, you are greeted by a small vestibule, which leads into the main hallway. The apartment’s crowning feature is the expansive, open-plan living area, which serves as the heart of the home. This 23ft lounge/diner/kitchen space, shaped in an L formation, cleverly delineates three distinct zones while maintaining a sense of openness. The first detail that commands attention is the double-height vaulted ceiling, rising a dramatic 14 feet from floor to ceiling, creating a sense of airiness and grandeur. A beautifully hand-carved, original truss arches across the room, serving as both a focal point and a reminder of the chapel's rich heritage. The room is further enriched by the presence of an elegant, arched leaded window, through which natural light pours, casting warm tones across the room. This space is not only full of character, but it also offers a cozy, inviting atmosphere that feels both majestic and intimate. The lounge area comfortably accommodates a variety of living furniture, making it an ideal space for both relaxation and entertaining.

The kitchen, which also enjoys the vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, is equally impressive. A Velux-style window allows for an abundance of natural light, complementing the modern white kitchen units and wood-effect work surfaces. The kitchen is complete with contemporary appliances, including an integrated oven, hob, and extractor fan. There is also ample space for additional white goods and room to accommodate a good-sized dining suite, making it an ideal space for cooking and dining.

The bedroom, like the living area, is graced by an arched leaded window, offering serene views over St. Newlyn East and, on clear days, distant glimpses of the sea towards Newquay. This tranquil setting enhances the sense of calm and privacy, making it an inviting retreat. The bedroom is a generous size, offering ample space for a double bed and additional furniture.

The bathroom is sleek and functional, featuring a high-quality white suite, with full tiling throughout. A shower over the bath provides a versatile space for both relaxing soaks and quick showers.

Throughout the apartment, an electric central heating system ensures comfort year-round, with three radiators and a heated towel rail. The heating system is controlled by a thermostat located in the living room, providing convenient temperature regulation.

Externally there is parking for one car to the front, off the entrance to the building.

This charming apartment, with its perfect blend of modern luxury and historical character, offers a unique living experience within one of the area’s most beautiful and distinctive buildings.
