DESCRIPTION
The property comprises a former Methodist Church built in 1838 and we understand comprises two Land Registry Titles. The property is not a Listed Building nor in a Conservation Area.

The property has an overall frontage to High Road of approximately 10 metres and an average maximum depth of 26m. Based on the Land Registry Title Plans the site extends to approximately 264m² measured using our Promap Ordnance Survey mapping system. On a gross internal floor area basis, the buildings extend to approximately 185m² (1,991 sq. ft.), with the buildings essentially filling the plot other than the side parking area.

The property comprises two adjoined buildings of brick and predominantly slate construction, with side extensions having a mineral felt flat roof. The property was extensively renovated from its church form in 2017 and has been used as a showroom for a ceramics business since then. All works to insulate and conform with buildings regulations at the time were met. Planning consent has now been granted for conversion of the buildings to a 3-bedroom residential property with parking.

The original front Church Hall has a number of new timber arched windows to the south, east and west, and those to the front (south) are leaded and have stained glass sections which were completely re-made/re-leaded in 2017. The new timber front door also has stained glass panels at its top. The primary entrance to the building is however via the side UPVC door, and other windows in the buildings are predominantly UPVC. Internally the building is formed of 2 main halls, with a kitchen, and 2 No. WC´s and a rear store with an upper floor mezzanine area. Light from the top sections of the arched windows floods to this area which has an open glazed banister overlooking the front part of the front Church Hall area off an oak staircase.
