For Sale by Public Online Auction
Closing Date: Tbc
Rare opportunity to purchase a traditional stone barn with planning permission for residential conversion. Attached to a row of quaint cottages, the availability of this charming historic former workshop located in the centre of this sought-after village close to the church and shops is likely to create much interest from both developers and residential buyers who want to create an amazing living space within a thriving community.
Historical Note
This is probably one of the last old buildings in Probus to be converted and it is thought that The Former Workshop was built in the early 1800's as there are historical records showing it was used in around 1819 as a chapel. We have been informed that a travelling preacher called John Boyle who left the ministry to stay in Cornwall is believed to have connections with this chapel in around 1820 until the congregation outgrew the building. It is believed that between 1923 to 1926 it was used as stables, there were recently two rosettes pinned to the beams including second prize in the Probus Horse Show 1923 and Reserve in the Liskeard Agricultural Show 1926. Apparently, the previous owner's grandfather purchased the building in 1956 and used it as a carpentry workshop and it has also briefly been used as a milk store, before becoming a builders workshop in recent years.
Internally measuring 31'3" x 15'1" with existing timber mezzanine and exposed roof trusses, there are windows to north and south elevations, and an original hayloft style aperture to front now covered by modern profile green cladding. Double wooden entrance doors open onto the minor parish road. Construction comprises a mix of stone, cob and modern block under a pitched slated roof and mainly concrete floor.
