IMPORTANT NOTES

There is a restrictive covenant preventing any use for the building other than for religious purposes. Agreement has been reached in principle with the beneficiary of this covenant for its removal to allow the property to be converted for a single dwelling. This will be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process with no additional cost or contribution from the purchaser. Hence we are only seeking offers made subject to change of use permission being granted to the buyer at their expense.
