A rare chance to convert St Andrew’s Church in Great Fencote into a three-bedroom home. Full planning permission has been granted for conversion of the existing footprint, with approved plans for an additional outbuilding. The stone Gothic Revival building retains high ceilings and historic features that would give a finished home strong character and generous volume.
This is a clear opportunity for a developer, self-builder or investor comfortable managing a conversion. The site is freehold and set in a quiet village location with countryside views and good road links to the A1(M) and Northallerton rail services. Local primary schools are rated Good; secondary provision in the area requires improvement.
Buyers should note this sale is by auction and carries additional costs and timescales: a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.50% (minimum £6,600) is payable on exchange, and a Buyer Information Pack fee of £349 must be viewed before bidding. Completion is expected within a 56-day Reservation Period, so purchasers should arrange finance checks with lenders in advance.
Practical considerations include slow broadband in the area and a small plot size. The conversion will require construction work and fit-out to create the three-bedroom layout, so buyers must allow for build costs and potential planning conditions tied to the approved permission. All approved planning documentation and drawings are available for review.
