Summary - UNITED REFORM CHURCH, WATER STREET CA7 9AN
1 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Large plot in Wigton town centre with strong redevelopment potential.
Georgian stone facade with arched stained‑glass windows
A rare conversion opportunity in central Wigton, this former United Reformed Church offers striking Georgian stone frontage, arched stained-glass windows and expansive internal volumes with high ceilings — ideal for a sympathetic residential conversion, community use or commercial redevelopment. The site occupies a large plot close to local amenities, schools and rail links; broadband and mobile signals are strong and there is no flood risk.
Planning permission was granted in 2013 for conversion into a four‑storey Museum and Heritage Centre with commercial/café space (Planning Ref VLBC/2025/0001), showing the building’s redevelopment potential. The property is sold freehold and will be offered by auction, so buyers should review the full Auction Pack and consult Cumberland Council planning officers about any revised proposals.
Important constraints: the exterior and windows are Grade II listed, which will limit changes and add compliance costs. The interior is currently partly derelict and unfinished — substantial structural, building‑regulation and conservation work is likely. There are also auction terms to note, including a non‑refundable Reservation Fee and additional Buyer Pack costs, and the sale is subject to an undisclosed reserve price.
This property suits experienced developers, specialist converters or investors comfortable with listed‑building processes and auction purchase mechanics. Carrying out detailed due diligence, conservation advice and early planning discussions is essential before bidding.
