An eye-catching former Methodist chapel built in 1838, this substantial brick property combines period character with practical modern upgrades. Planning consent (Ref H23-0409-24) has been granted to convert the building into a three-bedroom home with an open-plan living/dining/kitchen, making it suitable for buyers wanting a distinctive family residence in a village-fringe setting.
The building was extensively renovated in 2017 and has underfloor heating to the front showroom and a gas boiler with radiators elsewhere. Large timber arched windows, leaded and stained glass to the principal elevation, high ceilings and a mezzanine create dramatic internal volumes. The site extends to approximately 264m² with road frontage, a concrete forecourt and off-street parking for two cars.
Buyers should note the property currently sits as a commercial/showroom layout: the planning consent will require carrying out the approved conversion works to achieve the three-bedroom residential layout. The buildings essentially fill the plot, so external garden space is limited. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow, which may affect home-working without alternative connectivity solutions.
Practical advantages include mains services connected, an EPC grade C, low flood and crime risk, and dual Land Registry titles. The property is offered freehold and presents strong potential for a character-rich family home subject to the agreed conversion works and finishing choices.
