Mithian, St.Agnes, Cornwall, TR5

The Property

Quietly positioned along a peaceful no-through lane on the edge of the sought-after village of Mithian, The Old Chapel is a beautifully converted former chapel believed to date from around 1837. Enjoying an elevated south-facing position overlooking open countryside, the property combines the character of its historic origins with a thoughtfully designed layout that offers exceptional flexibility for modern living.

.

Approached via a private lane shared with just one neighbouring property, the house sits comfortably within mature gardens, its handsome stone elevations hinting at the generous accommodation within. Throughout, large windows draw in natural light while framing ever-changing views across the surrounding landscape, creating a home that feels both welcoming and remarkably connected to its setting.

.

The principal accommodation occupies the upper floor, where the main reception room forms the heart of the house. A wonderfully proportioned dual-aspect space, it enjoys an abundance of natural light together with uninterrupted views across the gardens and neighbouring fields beyond. A wood-burning stove set within a sandstone fireplace provides a natural focal point during the cooler months, while the room's generous proportions create an atmosphere equally suited to quiet evenings or entertaining family and friends.

.

Adjoining the reception room, the dining room benefits from dual aspect windows, one of which being a characterful chapel window, allowing natural light to fill the space and offering views of the countryside. The adjoining kitchen breakfast room is traditionally appointed with a range of cream cabinetry, integrated double ovens and an induction hob, providing a practical and well-considered workspace whilst remaining connected to the principal living areas.

.

The upper floor also provides two generous double bedrooms, including a peaceful principal bedroom with ensuite shower room, together with a well-appointed family bathroom. Above, a substantial loft offers excellent potential for further accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.

Flexible Accommodation

One of the property's most appealing attributes is the flexibility of its accommodation. The lower floor is currently arranged as an entirely self-contained annex comprising a sitting room with doors opening onto a private terrace, kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom. Having operated successfully as guest accommodation, it offers an attractive opportunity for supplementary income, independent family living, a private space for visiting guests or a separate work from home space.

.

Equally, the accommodation could readily be reincorporated into the main house, creating a substantial family residence that makes full use of the property’s original space and distinctive character.

.

Alongside the flexible accommodation, a further hobby room provides additional flexibility as a studio, home office or occasional bedroom, while the integral double garage offering excellent storage, workshop space and utilities with further potential for conversion, subject to any necessary permissions.

Outside

Outside, the gardens are an equally compelling feature of the property. Immediately adjoining the principal living accommodation, a broad south-facing terrace provides an idyllic setting for outdoor dining while enjoying uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside. A grassy lane separates the formal gardens from the productive lower garden, where raised beds, fruit trees, a greenhouse and garden store create an appealing space for those wishing to embrace a more self-sufficient lifestyle. The gardens have been carefully established over many years and offer a wonderful balance between formal areas, productive planting and quiet corners in which to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

.

To the northern side of the house, a sheltered courtyard provides a further private seating area, while ample parking and an integral garage ensure the property is as practical as it is attractive. An electric vehicle charging point has also been installed.
