Summary - THE LAURELS COURT LANE STOFORD YEOVIL BA22 9UQ
1 bed 1 bath Land
Convert a Gothic Revival chapel into a distinctive one‑bed home with planning in place.
Full planning permission granted (24/01372/FUL) for one‑bed conversion
This former Methodist Chapel in Stoford is being sold with full planning permission (24/01372/FUL) to convert the Gothic Revival building into a one‑bedroom home. The approved scheme creates a spacious living room with wood‑burning stove, kitchen/dining, study, ground floor bathroom and a first‑floor bedroom with roof windows, while external works allow two rooflights, a flue and gated bin storage. The building’s vaulted ceilings, tall arched windows and stained glass offer strong character and visual impact.
The plot is large and elevated, approached via wrought iron gates and original steps, giving scope for private outdoor space and a distinctive street presence. Practical points in the property’s favour include freehold tenure, excellent mobile signal and very low local crime. Full planning permission removes a major hurdle and shortens the lead time to starting works for an owner‑occupier or developer.
Buyers should expect a conversion project: the building will need internal fit‑out and services installation to complete the planned home. The site sits in a neighbourhood classified as deprived and has a medium flood risk, both factors to consider for insurance and resale. The property will be sold at auction on 19 November 2025, so interested parties should review the legal pack and be prepared to act within auction timescales.
This is a rare opportunity to create a singular, characterful dwelling in Yeovil’s town fringe — suitable for someone wanting a distinctive one‑bed home or a small‑scale investment conversion. The approved plans and large plot reduce planning uncertainty, but the purchase requires readiness for a refurbishment program and attention to flood and local area considerations.
