A most unusual opportunity to purchase a superbly situated Methodist Chapel of great character, with immense scope for adaptation into living accommodation or a variety of alternative usages (subject to planning permission) in a super unspoilt rural setting, at Vron Gate close to the popular village of Westbury.

Description - Halls are favoured with instructions from Rea Valley Methodist Churches to offer Vron Gate Methodist Chapel for sale by Public Auction.

Vron Gate Methodist Chapel is a superbly situated Methodist Chapel of great character, with immense scope for adaptation into living accommodation or a variety of alternative usages (subject to planning permission) in a super unspoilt rural setting, at Vron Gate, close to the popular village of Westbury.

The Chapel, we understand, was constructed in 1877 as a single cell Wayside Chapel and has numerous interesting original internal features and has power, light and heating. There is good head height, making provision of a second floor possible (subject to Planning Consent).

There is therefore great scope for adapting the Chapel according to ones own individual requirements, possibly in to a dwelling/studio/office/Air BnB etc. (subject to Planning Consent).

Outside, there is an area of grass to the front retained by an attractive mellowed red brick wall with pedestrian access on to the council maintained lane.

Halls, the selling agents, strongly recommend an inspection of the Chapel to appreciate the possibilities that it has to offer.

Situation - Vron Gate Chapel is situated in a lovely unspoilt rural location in the rural hamlet of Vron Gate. Whilst enjoying this super location, it is only approximately 2 miles from the well known village of Westbury which has good local amenities for a village of its size and is also within easy motoring distance of the larger centres of Shrewsbury (9 miles) and Welshpool (7 miles), both of which, have a more comprehensive range of amenities of all kinds.

Directions - From Shrewsbury, proceed on the B4386 to the village of Westbury. In the centre of the village turn right on to Station Road, signposted 'Halfway House' then take the first left, signposted 'Surgery' and continue for a short distance. Take the next left signposted 'Vennington, Vron Gate' and continue on this quiet country lane for approximately 1.7 miles and Vron Gate Chapel will be found on the left hand side, identified by a Halls for sale board.

Chapel - 7.5m x 5.5m (24'7" x 18'1") - A wooden front entrance door opening in to the Chapel, with four wall mounted 'Heatstore' electric heaters, four double glazed windows to two elevations, internal timber panelling, high ceiling height (making provision of a second floor possible, (subject to planning permission).

Outside - The Chapel is approached off the council maintained quiet country lane through a metal gate on to a grassed area retained by attractive old fashioned mellowed red brick walling. A grass pedestrian path leads alongside one side of the Chapel to the rear.
