Detached Grade II listed church in idyllic edge of village location with countryside views. Possible redevelopment potential (subject to consents)
Description
Detached Grade II listed church in idyllic edge of village location with countryside views. Possible redevelopment potential (subject to consents).
The building itself appear to be of stone construction under a pitched tile roof with an attractive bell tower. The former St John's Church is believed to be of medieval origin but was mostly rebuilt in the mid 1800's.
The property is located in the corner of a graveyard (excluded from the sale) but still with some outside grassed area
surrounding the building itself and is accessed via a pedestrian pathway from the road. The extent of the property being sold is shown edged red on the sale plan. The graveyard edged green on the plan, including the footpath coloured blue, will be retained and will remain under the ownership of our client. A pedestrian right of way to the building will be granted to the purchaser over the pathway coloured blue on the plan. Please refer to the legal pack for further information.
The property extends to approximately 770 sqft (72sqm) and briefly comprises an entrance vestibule through to the main worship area (nave) with a rear raised altar area (sanctuary). Many period features remain such as the stained glass windows, beamed ceiling and raised pulpit. We believe the property was previously connected to a mains electricity supply but this was disconnected when the church closed. The property is not served by any other mains utilities or sewerage. Again, please refer to the legal pack for confirmation.
The former church is in a rural location with countryside views all around on the edge of the hamlet of Llangwm Isaf in Monmouthshire, approximately 3.5 miles east of Usk and 11 miles north of Chepstow.
