Description

This semi-detached church building, dating back to approximately 1888, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and conversion. With its traditional stock brick construction complemented by stone detailing and a steeply pitched slate roof, the property features both character and charm. It is conveniently located with a dedicated tarmacadam car park on the left side, although some restrictions apply due to rights reserved for an adjacent nursery and a Deed of Grant for Electricity North West. Inside, the property retains many original features with an entrance lobby leading into a secondary lobby adorned with decorative stained glass and timber panelling. The ground floor layout includes disabled access WC facilities, a kitchen area, a meeting room, and the main sanctuary space which could be reimagined for various uses. A modest vestry adds further utility adjacent to the altar area. The tiered first-floor balcony provides additional potential use or viewing space overlooking the sanctuary, enhancing the building's versatility. This property is ripe for redevelopment into residential units or community spaces, offering significant investment potential in the process.
