Property Description
The placing of Capel Soar on the market provides a rear opportunity of acquiring a historic and very appealing complex of buildings formerly ecclesiastical and now lending themselves to a variety of alternative uses in a glorious setting in the Upper Tywi Valley. The property is a Grade II Listed Chapel originally constructed in 1740 but modified later in 1786 and historically associated with the Methodist movement in the Upper Tywi Valley over the generations.

The detached Chapel includes an adjacent former Caretaker's flat (Ty Capel) plus also a Vestry thereover that could be encompassed to provide a detached dwelling.

On the opposite side of the lane there is a useful stone range being a former stable block that has further commercial potential and has a separate parcel of land and garden adjacent.

This is a property that is in need of extensive inward investment and is generally in poor condition and has considerable scope for improvement.
