This property will be legally prepared enabling any interested buyer to secure the property immediately once their bid/offer has been accepted. Ultimately a transparent process which provides speed, security and certainty for all parties.

A former methodist chapel built in 1870, The Old Chapel in Cassington has a rich history of serving the local community. The local community will remember it as a place for Sunday School atleast as far back as the 1950's, and more recently for play groups, and more recently again it has been used as an office/ shared workspace.

Now the property is looking to be brought into the modern world and is part way through a conversion into a two bedroom residential dwelling - please note change of use has not yet been applied for.

The property is approached off the public footpath adjacent to Lynton Lane which links up with St Peters Primary school. There is an attractive stone wall with wooden gate which separates the frontage from the plot. The frontage is mainly laid to patio slabs with some mature beds and a wooden shed.

The entrance to The Old Chapel is through the imposing but quite charming double timber doors with glazed half-moon window over. Once inside there is a superb entrance hall with brand new radiators and being freshly decorated.

Through the second timber door and you will find the kitchen dining area with doors to two separate utility or pantry like spaces. To the first one you will find some kitchen units and the recently installed (2025) gas fired boiler. The second has another run of kitchen units and a sink. The main kitchen area benefits from a bespoke timber kitchen with Belfast sink, room for a cooker and space for a dining table and chairs as well as a further door the the chapel like sitting room and stairs to the first floor.

The chapel like sitting room takes full advantage of the vaulted ceiling height and retains the chapel windows which flood the space with natural light.

The first floor landing is flooded with light from the chapel windows to the front of the property and from which you can access two "bedroom" spaces and a further room which was to become the bathroom. There is also convenient loft access, visible in our Parkers 3D Tour.

This is a unique, and exceedingly rare opportunity to buy this property which could make a superb and charming two bedroom character home, or could continue its life as a shared workspace/ office.
