Sarn, Newtown, Powys, SY16

Dating from 1859, the former Holy Trinity Church in Sarn is a Gothic-style building designed by architect T.M. Penson. It is not listed and is outside a conservation area. The layout comprises an entrance tower, a nave measuring approximately 17.15m by 7.43m, a raised chancel and a vestry with a rear door. Ecclesiastical details include a vaulted ceiling, stained glass windows, pews, a pulpit and an organ. The church is in the village of Sarn, around seven miles from Newtown, 15 miles from Welshpool and 27 miles from Shrewsbury. Pedestrian access is available at the front and rear, with an area of land to the rear. Parking may be possible in a small nearby car park. The mains electricity is disconnected. Mains water is available outside for visitors to the adjacent graveyard, and the former central heating system has been decommissioned; the boiler has been removed. The building may suit a range of uses, subject to the required permissions and consents. Prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries about asbestos. Any disposal is subject to the Church Commissioners' statutory process, including a pastoral scheme authorising the new use and sale. Offers must include sketch plans and written details of the proposed use. Further conditions and covenants apply, including requirements concerning alterations and the protection of human remains and memorials.
