Summary - THE BARN CHURCH STREET KINGSTEIGNTON NEWTON ABBOT TQ12 3BQ
1 bed 1 bath Character Property
Distinctive central property with conversion potential and two parking spaces.
Grade II listed former Victorian chapel with Gothic Revival features
A rare Grade II listed former Victorian chapel in the heart of Old Kingsteignton, offered freehold and chain-free. The main worship space is double-height with stained glass, a raised chancel area with an organ recess, mezzanine viewing level and original stonework — a striking single-bedroom property of approximately 140 sq m (1,506 sq ft) with two small courtyard areas and two allocated parking spaces.
The building currently sits within Use Class F1, providing straightforward community uses but also clear scope for conversion to residential or alternative commercial uses, subject to planning and listed-building consent. The property includes mains services, a gas boiler and good broadband and mobile signal; a video walk-through is available for initial inspection.
Important practical points: the Grade II listing and existing URC covenants mean any alteration will require specialist consents and may limit scope; the listing is explicitly noted as likely to cause difficulties for some buyers. The property will be sold by informal tender with offers due by 12 noon on 17 October 2025. The chapel is partially attached, sits on a small plot and is in an area recorded as relatively deprived, which may influence future use or rental market.
This is best suited to an investor, developer or sympathetic owner-occupier who values distinctive character and is prepared to work through planning and conservation constraints. For the right buyer, the building offers architectural presence, prominent central location and conversion potential in a town with strong road links to Newton Abbot, Exeter and the M5.
