General Comments - This is a stunning chapel conversion which celebrates the building’s rich heritage, blending period character with stylish modern living. The property offers a rare opportunity to own a unique piece of Newquay’s history, ideally located for easy access to the town centre, local amenities, and Cornwall’s stunning north coast.

Recently converted the property offers light and spacious accommodation which comprises an entrance hallway, fabulous open plan living space with vaulted ceiling, two bedrooms, master en-suite, separate shower room and a utility.

History - Originally constructed in 1879 as a Wesleyan Chapel, the building is steeped in Cornish history and architectural charm. Designed by Mr. Thomas Came of Newquay and built by Mr. Bennetto of Newlyn, it was described at the time as “a pretty little chapel, lighted by lancet windows filled with frosted glass”—a testament to the craftsmanship and simple Gothic beauty that still defines it today.

Built from local rubble stone with granite dressings, the chapel displays elegant pointed-arched windows, steeply pitched roofing, and a gabled entrance porch, all characteristic of its Gothic style. Inside, the thoughtful residential conversion has retained the integrity of the original architecture while introducing modern comfort and contemporary design, creating a distinctive and atmospheric living space.

Having served generations of worshippers as Lane Methodist Church following the 1932 unification of the Methodist denominations, the chapel has now been carefully and sensitively restored and transformed into a private residence.

Location - Occupying a prominent position at the north-eastern corner of the A392 roundabout, where it meets Treloggan Road on the approach to Newquay, this beautifully converted former chapel is a familiar and much-admired local landmark. Newquay is one of Cornwall's most highly favoured coastal locations, famous for its many beautiful sandy beaches and home to probably the Country's best surfing spot, Fistral Beach. The Pentire Headland is on the southern side of Fistral, flanked on its opposite side by the beautiful Gannel Estuary and Crantock Beach. The highly regarded Newquay Golf Course also overlooks Fistral and is easily accessed, as are a range of distinguished dining establishments such as The Fish House which won Gold at the 2018/19 Cornwall Tourism Awards. The landmark Headland Hotel is also a must, with an excellent restaurant and spa facilities. The Lewinnick Lodge is always a popular venue and Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth are both based in nearby Padstow, while across the Camel Estuary at Port Isaac, is Nathan Outlaw. Newquay International Airport provides easy links to London and numerous other major cities of the UK as well as many destinations around Europe.
