Tan Y Lan, Ruabon, Wrexham, LL14

Steeped in history and architectural character, Providence Chapel is a remarkable former place of worship dating from 1834. Designed by renowned Victorian architect Benjamin Gummon and commissioned by Sir Watkins Williams-Wynn, the chapel presents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive historic building with exceptional potential for residential, creative, or alternative use.

Arranged over three expansive floors, the property retains the generous proportions and sense of openness associated with its original purpose. Each level offers predominantly open-plan accommodation, with abundant natural light provided by windows positioned along both sides of the building.

The ground floor, which historically accommodated the chapel congregation, forms the central and most versatile level of the property. The space is exceptionally open and spacious, with separate steel staircases providing access to both the upper and lower floors. Its scale and flexibility lend themselves to a wide range of potential configurations, subject to the necessary consents.

The upper floor is currently divided into two completely empty rooms, although the layout could be readily reconfigured to create a single impressive open-plan space or a number of individual rooms according to the requirements of a future owner.

The lower ground floor provides further substantial open-plan accommodation and benefits from direct access to the garden through a large garage-style door. There is also access towards the front of the property, leading out towards the riverbank garden, creating a particularly attractive connection between the building and its surrounding grounds.

Throughout, Providence Chapel offers an unusual combination of historic significance, generous proportions, natural light and considerable flexibility. With its striking original character, three levels of adaptable space and gardens extending towards the riverbank, this is a truly individual property with enormous potential to be transformed while retaining the character and story of its Victorian past.

Ground Floor

A substantial open-plan first-floor space with impressive proportions and excellent flexibility. Numerous windows provide good levels of natural light, while the exposed timber ceiling structure adds character and emphasises the scale of the accommodation. Currently presented as a workshop/storage area and requiring refurbishment, this floor offers an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to reconfigure and finish the space to suit their requirements, subject to the relevant permissions.

Garage/Workshop

An exceptionally spacious garage/workshop extending to approximately 38ft in length, offering a highly versatile area with considerable potential. The space features exposed timber ceiling beams, a timber floor, multiple windows providing natural light and a staircase connecting to the upper level. Currently used for storage and workshop purposes, its generous proportions provide excellent scope for a variety of uses, subject to any necessary consents.

First Floor

A large landing and adjoining open area centred around the staircase, providing further highly adaptable accommodation. Character features include arched windows and an interesting arrangement of openings, while the generous floor area could lend itself to a range of configurations as part of a wider renovation scheme. The space requires updating and improvement throughout.

Adjoinig this space is a particularly generous room offering a wealth of potential. The accommodation benefits from characterful arched and conventional windows, providing natural light and distinctive architectural interest. The room is presently in need of comprehensive modernisation, with areas of unfinished walling and visible deterioration to some surfaces. Its substantial footprint nevertheless presents an excellent blank canvas for refurbishment.

Outside Space

Providence Chapel benefits from a large plot to the rear that could be used for a multitude of purposes. Whether that be for a residential garden/parking as part of the chapel itself, or for redevelopment into numerous residential dwellings, subject to the necessary consents.

The site is currently used as parking for the property, and could retain this use, whilst also offering potential for redevelopment. This space holds tremendous possibilities, and its future use is only limited by the buyer’s imagination.

There is also a sizeable plot to the front of the property flanked on own side by an original stone wall separating the site from the access road, and Afon Eitha Brook on the other side. There are mature shrubs and trees offering peace and quiet, which envelops what could be a tranquil garden and entertaining space.
