Description:
LARGE REDUNDANT VILLAGE CHAPEL
Of historic and architectural importance and Listed Grade II*
A large and imposing building in a central village location and suitable only for limited alternative uses,
subject to any necessary consents.
FOR SALE BY INFORMAL TENDER
Carharrack Methodist Church has become redundant for Methodist worship purposes and hence it is now offered for sale. It comprises a very substantial building of truly magnificent proportions set within the heart of the village and with good access. It is Grade II* Listed owing to its historic and architectural significance and hence it is only suitable for a limited number of alternative purposes outlined in the separate development brief available from the Agents.
Carharrack is a thriving village community convenient for Truro and Redruth with a selection of local facilities for daily needs including general store and post office, public houses, church and chapel. There is a doctors surgery and primary school in nearby St. Day. The village is about 7 miles from Truro, 3 miles from Redruth and 8 miles from Falmouth. The village is just over 2 miles from the main A30 and this provides easy access throughout the county. There is a main line railway link to London (Paddington), at both Truro and Redruth and the village is also well served by a local bus.
The Methodist Church is a very large rectangular building with a frontage of approximately 15 metres and a maximum depth of 26 metres. It is linked to the former Sunday school which is now being used for Church Services and this latter building is being retained. A date stone in the front gable elevation suggests the building was erected in 1815 and it is believed this replaced an earlier octagonal building erected on the site in 1779. The internal Chapel is magnificent and is known to be one of the largest and best of the Cornish Methodist Chapels with an original seating capacity of approximately 1,000. Of particular merit is the superb panelled horseshoe gallery with clock and which is believed to include the earliest surviving closed gallery pews in Cornwall. The double decker pulpit, rostrum and organ are also splendid features.
