A substantial detached former church offering 7,922 sq ft (736 sq m) over two levels on Dewsbury Road. The building presents a large single‑storey worship hall with high vaulted ceilings, ancillary meeting rooms, kitchens and stores, giving generous internal volume suited to community, commercial or mixed-use redevelopment (STPP).
The plot sits on a main road frontage with pedestrian access and a small gated yard to the rear; external amenity is limited. The property is located in a densely built urban area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, close to local amenities and public transport links.
This is a clear opportunity for an investor, community group or developer able to pursue an alternative use planning application. The building appears neglected in places and will require refurbishment and repair to modern standards; costs for conversion, services upgrade and compliance should be allowed for. Buyers should note the surrounding area is very deprived with very high crime statistics and limited private outdoor space.
Offers are invited as a freehold purchase. The property is best suited to a buyer with a clear reuse strategy and budget for refurbishment, planning and merchant services.
