A most conveniently situated Methodist Chapel of great character in a sought after location on the edge of the popular village of Bettisfield, which has great potential for a variety of alternative usages such as residential, Airbnb, office, gym etc (subject to the necessary Planning Consent) which offers spacious internal accommodation currently comprising a Chapel, Vestry, Kitchen, Bathroom and car parking/garden area.

Description - Halls are favoured with instructions from Shropshire & Marches Methodist Circuit to offer Bettisfield Methodist Church for sale by Public Auction.

The chapel is a primitive Methodist Ebeneezer Chapel which was originally constructed in 1879 and retains numerous interesting features to include a vaulted ceiling and timber pulpit.

The chapel, therefore, has immense potential for a variety of alternative usages such as a residential dwelling, Airbnb, offices, gym, meeting rooms etc (subject to the necessary Local Authority Planning Consent).

The size of the internal accommodation is a major feature of the chapel currently comprising a Chapel, Vestry, Kitchen and Bathroom. There is good head height in the chapel area making provision of a second floor possible (subject to LA consent).

Outside, the property has a gravelled area to the rear which would be ideal for a patio garden or for car parking.

Halls, the Auctioneers, strongly recommend an immediate inspection of the chapel to appreciate its unusual nature, the excellent and convenient location and the possibilities which it has to offer.

Situation - The chapel is situated in a peaceful rural location on the edge of the noted village of Bettisfield which is well known for its walks and proximity to the Mosses and the Llangollen canal. Whilst enjoying this location it is within easy motoring distance of the North Shropshire towns of Ellesmere (5 miles), Wem (6 miles) and Whitchurch (8 miles), all of which, have an excellent range of local Shopping, Recreational and Educational facilities. The county towns of Shrewsbury (16 miles) and Chester 26 miles) are also within a comfortable drive, both of which, have a more comprehensive range of amenities of all kinds.

Directions - From Ellesmere take the A495 south, through the village of Welshampton, for just under 4 miles and turn right signposted Bettisfield. Continue into the village and turn left on to Cadney Lane. After a short distance Bettisfield Methodist Church will be found on the right hand side identified by a Halls 'For Sale' board.
