Total floor area: approx. 577 sqm (6,208 sq ft)

Tenure: Freehold (absolute title)

Use class: F1 / Mixed - subject to planning

Conservation area: Yes (not listed)

PROPERTY:

A rare opportunity to acquire the rear schoolroom and ancillary accommodation building forming part of the wider Uppermill Methodist Church complex, situated in the heart of Uppermill village, one of Saddleworth's most sought-after and picturesque Pennine settlements.

IMPORTANT: The sale comprises the rear schoolroom building only (ground floor and first floor accommodation shown edged on the sale plan). The principal church building, including the main worship hall/nave, tower, spire, sanctuary and associated front church accommodation, is expressly excluded from the sale and is not included within the property being offered.

Offered for sale with vacant possession as a single freehold, the property presents an attractive conversion, redevelopment or owner-occupier opportunity, subject to any necessary consents.

Occupying a prominent position to the rear of the church complex and accessed from the village centre, the building forms a substantial stone-built former schoolroom and community facility constructed during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The accommodation provides a range of large halls, meeting rooms, ancillary accommodation, kitchen facilities, WC provisions, offices and storage areas arranged over ground and first floor levels.

The property extends to approximately 577 square metres (6,208 sq ft) and benefits from substantial internal volumes suitable for a variety of alternative uses, subject to planning.

A feasibility study by Donald Insall Associates has already demonstrated the potential for sympathetic conversion and redevelopment, making this an outstanding proposition for developers, conversion specialists, community organisations and owner-occupiers alike.
