Description

The Norfolk Agents are pleased to offer this charming former Methodist church, currently a commercial premises, with planning permission granted for conversion into a three-bedroom residential dwelling. The original church dates back to 1838 and was extensively renovated and converted by the current owner in 2017 to create a showroom and retail space for their ceramics business. Notable improvements include the original church floor being lifted and re-laid with underfloor heating, the addition of internal wall insulation, removal of suspended ceilings with vaulted ceilings insulated, installation of new double-glazed windows with the original stained-glass front windows carefully refurbished and re-leaded, along with a new boiler and full rewire. A mezzanine floor has also been created, significantly increasing the usable internal space and enhancing the building’s versatility and character. While it is currently commercial retail space, this unique building benefits from planning permission for residential conversion and offers the perfect opportunity for those seeking something truly different. It provides the foundations for a beautiful period home while retaining its striking architectural features.

ACCOMMODATION
Visitors are welcomed into the property via a small entrance porch, featuring an impressive door replaced by the current owner, which complements the church and provides a welcoming first impression. At the front of the property, within the original church, is a spacious and impressive open-plan area, bright and airy thanks to the large windows and high ceilings. An attractive glass-sided staircase leads to the mezzanine floor above, which enjoys vaulted ceilings with exposed timber trusses, adding character to the space. To the rear of the church is a generous additional workspace, formerly the church rooms, with an adjoining utility area containing two WCs and a kitchen fitted with a range of matching storage units and a sink, all benefiting from wonderful views over the surrounding fields. A separate entrance lobby is also located to the side of the property, providing versatile access.

OUTSIDE
The property is approached via a private driveway with gated access, providing off-road parking. A path runs along the side and rear of the property, with metal rail fencing bordering the rear, which overlooks the open fields beyond.

PROPOSED PLANS
The property benefits from planning permission for conversion into a three-bedroom residential dwelling. Plans have been attached for reference, but the full details can be viewed on the South Holland District Council Planning Portal using ref H23-0409-24. The proposed layout includes an open-plan kitchen/diner, and living area within the main church space, with two bedrooms, each with an ensuite, located on the mezzanine floor. To the rear of the church, the plans provide for a large master bedroom with dressing room and ensuite, along with a family bathroom and utility area.

LOCATION
Whaplode is a well-regarded Lincolnshire village offering a strong sense of community and convenient access to nearby market towns. The village benefits from local amenities including a primary school, village hall, church, Co-op, Chinese takeaway and service station. While a wider range of shops, services, and schooling can be found in the nearby towns of Spalding and Holbeach. Surrounded by open countryside and farmland, Whaplode provides an appealing semi-rural setting while remaining well connected.
