A compact Grade II listed former chapel on Bridge Road, close to the River Hamble, offers a distinctive small-plot investment or specialist-use opportunity. The single-storey brick building (approx. 65.5 sq m / 705 sq ft) sits on a 125.3 sq m (1,349 sq ft) plot with a small enclosed front garden and direct pedestrian access from Bridge Road and Quay Lane.
The building’s historic features and riverside location make it well suited to niche commercial uses (storage for watersports equipment, small gallery, community or learning space) subject to planning. Practical constraints include Flood Zone 3 location (occasional flooding; pump beneath the floor), Grade II listing with conservation-area controls, and an Article 4 direction – all of which will limit conversion options and require specialist consent.
Important transactional points: the seller will retain a 25% share of any uplift from future planning-led development for 25 years, there is no on-site parking, and the title is undergoing first registration. Interested parties should obtain pre-application planning advice and factor in listed-building and flood-adaptation costs before bidding.
For an investor or specialist operator who values character and proximity to boating amenities, this chapel represents a rare, small-footprint asset with immediate riverside appeal but clear regulatory and physical constraints.
