Centrally located within the popular rural village of Carknie, this former Methodist church has the benefit of planning permission to convert into three self contained flats. Full details of the proposed conversion will be found on the Cornwall Council Planning Portal using planning reference- PA23-10144.
The proposed flats will benefit from their own access, offer two bedrooms and have communal gardens with allocated parking.
