Character property for sale

This former Methodist Church, Grade ll Listed property dates from the early nineteenth century and is tucked away close to the centre of this picturesque and sought-after village. Aside from its most recent use as a place of worship, the property has potential for a range of other uses (subject to planning permission) including an interesting residential conversion and/or commercial use, and perhaps community-based activities such as a nursery or workshop/studio/gallery space.

The main church building is a most impressive space with windows to all sides, giving a light and airy feel, an impression enhanced by a fine oval-shaped patterned glass window. Beyond the church itself an inner hall gives access to a large church hall with an adjoining dining room and a kitchen. There are good toilet facilities and a vestry/study. This part of the building has a loft which may also offer potential for conversion. There is gas central heating. The gardens extend to the side and rear of the building, with pedestrian access onto King Street. 

The church itself dates from the early nineteenth century and the main building offers a wonderfully airy space with windows on all four sides and includes the retention of a lovely oval stained-glass window.  An inner hall provides access to a vestry and separate toilet facilities, and also to the church hall which is served by a dining room and a kitchen.
