This former Gothic Revival church offers a rare conversion opportunity in Amble with full planning permission for three large apartments. The building is stripped out and ready for redevelopment, sitting on a substantial corner plot with onsite off‑street parking and easy access to the marina and town amenities. Its historic stone façade, arched windows and very high ceilings will create striking, characterful living spaces once converted.
The consented scheme provides two three‑bedroom units and one larger two‑bedroom unit, giving clear scope for a high‑value residential finish or a short-term holiday let mix in a seaside‑popular location. Transport links are practical for the region: the A1068 connects to the A1 and Alnmouth station is nearby with East Coast Main Line services to Newcastle, Edinburgh and London.
Buyers should be aware of material drawbacks: the property needs full renovation and some build risk is likely given its stripped-out condition. Tenure is recorded as unknown and the wider area is classified as deprived with relatively high local crime — factors that will affect lettings, resale and financing. Broadband is average, though mobile signal is excellent.
This plot will suit developers or investors experienced with period conversions and planning compliance who can manage restoration and on-site works. Obtain the full legal pack and technical surveys before commitment to clarify tenure, structural condition and service connections.
