Description
We are pleased to offer to auction this unique opportunity to purchase a former Methodist chapel in Cassington dated to 1870. More recently used as an office/ shared work space, the property is part way through conversion into a two bedroom residential dwelling and presents a unique opportunity.
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.
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. There is also convenient loft access, visible in 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.
Please note we have not inspected this property.
