A wonderful opportunity to refurbish and improve a historic chapel in the heart of Bathford, with planning permission for a four-bedroom conversion already granted and works commenced, the permission is retained for perpetuality based on the plans detailed.

Bathford Chapel (dated 1839) comes onto the market with planning in place for a new owner to develop. The property has partially been converted to a one-bedroom house by the current owners with the intention to complete the planning approval to convert to a four-bedroom family home.

The garden is mainly laid to lawn with several mature trees and recently fitted French doors providing access from the living area . The front of the chapel opens onto Bathford High Street and there are fantastic walks up to Browns Folly Nature Reserve, into wide open countryside or down to the River Avon or into Bath along the canal. For paddle boarding and kayaks, you can access the water just a short distance away at Batheaston. The planning permission provides the opportunity for the new owner to create a beautiful and sought-after home in a unique and historic area.

It is very rare that a property of this type comes onto the market, particularly with planning in place. With the opportunity for the new owner to create a beautiful and sought-after home in a unique and historic building there will be high level of interest.
