Summary - Kibblesworth Methodist Church, Front Street, Kibblesworth, Birtley, North East, NE11 NE11 0YA
1 bed 1 bath Place of Worship
Substantial historic chapel with modern kitchen — conversion potential subject to planning.
Built 1913 Gothic Revival chapel with high vaulted ceilings
A striking former Methodist chapel dating from 1913, this red-brick Gothic Revival building offers 2,154 sq ft of high-volume interior space and prominent Front Street frontage. The main hall retains vaulted ceilings and arched sandstone-detailed windows, giving strong conversion appeal for community, leisure, studio or residential schemes (subject to planning).
Practical features include a modern kitchen, WC facilities, ramped entrance and a small west-side service yard for refuse and deliveries. The property’s brick construction beneath a pitched slate roof appears sound from description, making it a straightforward candidate for sympathetic reuse rather than wholesale rebuilding.
Important considerations: the site sits in a deprived area with a higher local crime rate, and tenure is not specified — buyers should verify ownership and title details. Any change from place of worship will require planning consent and possible building-regulation upgrades, particularly if subdividing or adding services.
Offered at £155,000, this property represents a relatively low entry price for a substantial, characterful building in need of a conversion-minded purchaser or investor willing to navigate planning and local-context challenges.
