Description
A Victorian stone former church hall in the centre of Atherington, offered for sale by informal tender. Planning permission is stated to have been granted for conversion into a single-storey home, with a hall, open-plan living room and kitchen, utility room, bedroom, bathroom and a studio or workshop that could serve as an occasional second bedroom. The consent also includes demolition of later additions to create a small private garden and potential parking or unloading space. The sale includes a mullion window ready for installation as part of the conversion.

Confidence: LOW
This is a distinctive Victorian stone former church hall with a slate roof, and the listing says permission has been granted to convert it into a single-storey home. The proposed layout and the chance to create a small private garden give the project a clear direction, while the village setting keeps it connected to nearby towns and transport. The interiors remain in former community-use condition, with a large hall, basic former-use facilities and visible ceiling staining, so the opportunity is to shape the space into a characterful dwelling rather than simply refresh a finished house.
At £175,000, value versus local £/sqf cannot be judged because the floor area is missing. The £90,000–£160,000 renovation range signals a substantial conversion, and the visible ceiling staining and hidden fabric need investigation; the consent, conditions and garden plans should also be checked.
Key opportunities
- Turn the large former hall into the approved living and kitchen space, with the stated layout also providing a bedroom, bathroom, utility and studio/workshop.
- Bring the stone elevations, slate roof and historic details into a distinctive single-storey home.
- Create a small private garden through the stated demolition of later additions, subject to checking the approved plans and delivery.
Key risks
- The former hall remains in community-use condition, with unfinished spaces and communal facilities; the £90,000–£160,000 works range makes this a full conversion programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- Visible ceiling staining needs investigation, and photographs do not establish the condition of the hidden building fabric.
