Development opportunity for the conversion of the Old Miners Hall with full planning permission granted.
The property offered for sale, The Old Miner's Hall, was formerly a Wesleyan Chapel built in 1883. It is classed as a 'non-designated heritage site'. It's last functional use was as a shop-outfitters workshop many years ago. The current owners replaced the roof, which now has Velux windows installed and new guttering has been installed. The front and side elevation have had poor rendering stripped, to reveal the original brickwork, which has been repointed sympathetically using traditional lime mortar.
Full planning permission for conversion to two self-contained apartments was granted in June 2024:
