Dating back to the mid-1800s, this pretty double-fronted property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the village’s heritage, set in tranquil, natural surroundings. Just moments from the harbour yet blissfully private, Roseleat represents a truly exceptional opportunity and the chance to own a secluded oasis in the heart of one of Cornwall’s most popular coastal villages. A Methodist Chapel dating back to 1839 has been transformed into a tropical walled garden with a pond, while a section has been retained as a garge/store. Pathways wind up through terraced gardens, revealing a summerhouse, orchard, and greenhouse, all with far-reaching views across the village.
The Property
An exceptionally rare opportunity to own a remarkable piece of Port Isaac’s history, Roseleat comprises a charming three-bedroom unlisted house together with a section of the original, unlisted Methodist chapel dating back to 1839. Set on a substantial hillside plot of approximately 0.4- acres, this handsome double-fronted property enjoys a picturesque setting, with a pretty lawned garden to the front encircled by a gently flowing leat. The accommodation was extended sometime in the mid 1950s and retains a traditional layout, featuring a spacious sitting room and separate dining room alongside the kitchen on the ground floor. Upstairs, the original four-bedroom arrangement has been reconfigured to provide a generous principal bedroom, two further double bedrooms, and a family bathroom. While Roseleat would now benefit from sympathetic modernisation, it offers exceptional potential to create a truly special coastal home. To the side, the remains of the old chapel have been transformed into an enchanting walled garden that leads through to a parking area. Beyond this, a retained section of the chapel now serves as a garage/workshop that still showcases many original features and offers exciting scope for further development, subject to the necessary planning consents.

Roseleat occupies a sizeable 0.4-acre plot with terraced gardens that rise up behind the property, offering wonderful views across Port Isaac village. The access from Middle Street is via a cobbled lane that leads to a parking area in front of the original Chapel, now used as a garage, workshop and storage.

Steps rise up behind the property to the garden above, and a first-floor door leads out to the upper terraces with steps up to the access off Rosehill.
Location
Port Isaac is a popular holiday destination and residential village on the rugged North Cornwall coast, famed for its historic fishing harbour, charming, whitewashed cottages, quaint winding streets and scenic coastal walks. Loved by millions as Portwenn in ITV’s Doc Martin and the birthplace of The Fisherman’s Friends, Port Isaac has a number of good places to eat and drink, all within walking distance of Roseleat. These include two of Nathan Outlaws Michelin star eateries. Other notable restaurants and pubs include The Port Gaverne Hotel, The Mote and The Golden Lion. Most everyday shopping requirements can be met in Port Isaac but the market town of Wadebridge, with an inspiring collection of independent shops, is only 8 miles away.
Agents Notes: The Chapel in the Valley was built in 1839 and is one of two decommissioned chapels in the harbourside village of Port Isaac – the other being Roscarrock Hill Methodist Chapel, which was built a decade later after a row broke out about the governance of Methodism. In 1935 during an uprising, the Chapel on the Hill was occupied by a group of reformists who managed to remove the bell and candelabra before the loyalists were able to reoccupy the chapel again.
