Rookley is a quiet village located on the main A320 which runs North to South on the Island connecting Cowes, Newport and Shanklin. Centrally located, it is an ideal location for commuting as well as access to the many beaches and tourist attractions the Isle of Wight has to offer.

This former Methodist Church sits in the heart of the village overlooking the village green. Built in 1859, a place of worship has remained on the site until Planning Permission was granted in 2024 for it to be converted to a two-bedroom residential dwelling offering an approximate internal floor area of 123 sq.m. (1,323 sq.ft). The site also benefits from the former community hall, which is a detached building situated to the rear of the Church which currently has an approximate internal floor area of 91 sq.m (979sq.ft). This offers scope and potential for further development, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable.

Planning
Planning Permission has been granted by Isle of Wight Council, under ref:23/02142/FUL, dated 5th March 2024, for conversion of Methodist chapel to residential dwelling with associated garden and parking (Revised plans).

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on May 10, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on May 10, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
