A rare opportunity to acquire a charming and historic former chapel brimming with character, potential, and possibilities.

Believed to date back to the late 1800s, this handsome former Primitive Methodist Chapel — later serving as a Kingdom Hall for Jehovah’s Witnesses — now stands ready for its next chapter. Offered with no onward chain, the property presents an exciting opportunity for sympathetic conversion (subject to the necessary planning consents) and the chance to breathe new life into this beautifully proportioned building.

Currently classified as a Place of Worship, the accommodation is deceptively generous and thoughtfully arranged. From the rear entrance, a spacious hallway grants access to WC facilities and the impressive former meeting hall, which exudes a wonderful sense of light and volume. Stairs descend to the ground floor, where you’ll find a kitchen, two full WC facilities (one including urinals), a library or office space, an additional meeting or reception room, and a rest room with basin and cupboards housing the boiler and consumer units. A front porch opens onto steps leading to a wrought iron gate and the roadside beyond.

Externally, the building enjoys raised flower and shrub borders to the rear, along with a pathway leading to the main entrance. There may be scope to create a dedicated parking space (subject to permissions), enhancing practicality for modern use.

Whether converted into a striking single residence or thoughtfully divided into distinctive apartments, this captivating period property offers a wealth of opportunities for those with vision and imagination. An architectural gem steeped in local history — ready to begin its next story.

You will need to make your own enquiries regarding planning for change of use, e.g. conversion to residential usage.
