A distinctive former Methodist chapel on High Road, Whaplode, offers a rare chance to create a three-bedroom village home. The building retains 19th-century Gothic Revival features—arched timber windows, stained glass and high ceilings—alongside practical modern upgrades carried out in 2017, including insulation works and underfloor heating to the front showroom.
Full planning consent (Ref H23-0409-24) has been granted to convert the space to an open-plan living/dining/kitchen with three bedrooms, making this suitable for a family seeking character and space close to local schools and village amenities. The property is freehold, not listed, and not within a conservation area, simplifying the conversion process.
Practical considerations: the buildings largely fill the 264m² plot leaving limited external amenity space; parking for two cars is provided on the side forecourt. Broadband speeds are very slow, and some external elevations and windows are UPVC rather than original timber. Buyers should note the eastern building wall sits directly on the boundary.
Overall this is a renovated period building with clear residential potential for purchasers prepared to complete the approved conversion. It suits buyers who value architecture and village living but accept modest external space and some modernisation to complete the dwelling.
