Features and description
- Unique opportunity to acquire this magnificent building
- Offers the potential for both commercial and residential use
- Retaining many original features
- Ideally located in the centre of Whickham
This stunningly renovated Wesleyan Church and adjoining Church Hall dates back to circa 1869 and is perfectly situated within the very heart of Whickham.
We are delighted to bring to the market this incredibly unique and rare opportunity to acquire this truly magnificent building offering the prospective purchaser(s) the potential for both commercial and/or residential opportunities – This former Church and Church Hall was extensively designed and sympathetically remodelled approximately 14 years ago by the current owners whilst retaining as many of its original features.
The property itself is located close to the centre of Whickham and offers easy access to the local amenities, pharmacy, newsagents and restaurants.
The property is also placed close to excellent local road links including the A1 and A69 both within easy reach. Newcastle City Centre and Gateshead Metro Centre are both located only a short drive away, offering an array of shops, cafes and restaurants.
The property has since been used collectively to date as a photographic Studio & Gallery, with a section for living. The development – subject to planning, has a magnitude of opportunity, an elegant venue, a unique restaurant, chic wine bar, trendy coffee hub or offers room for contemporary office space.
The internal accommodation briefly comprises : Entrance vestibule - The main church is extensive in size and sits beneath an amazing and original vaulted ceiling with exposed trusses. It also features a recessed area to the rear, with exposed stone work under the watchful eye of the original stained glass window.
A set of steps leads up to a connecting hallway featuring a vaulted ceiling, slate floors throughout and offers access to two sets of WC’s and a shower /changing room facility both with modern ceramic fittings. Further access on this floor leads into the main office and a well-formed kitchen area.
The office provides a staircase which leads up into a mezzanine level and is ideal for further storage. The main atrium has a second set of steps which leads up to the very rear and to the former Church Hall, which also boasts generous proportions framed under an exposed vaulted ceiling and a further office area can be accessed via a small flight of stairs.
Externally there are parking bay(s) for one/two small vehicles and the walkways are fitted with cobbled block paving and modern external lighting.
Early viewings are strongly advised to fully appreciate the opportunity and potential of this fantastic, historic building.
Services: Mains electric, gas, water and drainage - Tenure: Freehold -
