This Grade II listed chapel, dating back to approximately 1840, presents a rare opportunity for renovation and investment just outside the village of Wool in East Burton. The property is currently classified as commercial and has served various community purposes, including a café and a base for a charitable organization. Its conversion to residential use could be pursued, subject to obtaining necessary planning permissions.
The entrance features a substantial wooden door that leads into a hallway connecting to several rooms, including a compact toilet area and additional storage space. Currently equipped with a disabled toilet, this area could be reimagined as an updated bathroom or repurposed to expand the kitchen layout.
A key aspect of the property's appeal lies in its spacious living room, measuring over 24 feet long with an abundance of natural light streaming through characteristic mullion windows. This versatile space, previously used for both relaxation and community gatherings, offers significant potential for transformation to suit modern residential needs.
The kitchen includes essential cabinets and appliances but would benefit from contemporary updates to maximize functionality. The first floor extends across approximately 821 square feet, showcasing stunning vaulted ceilings and plentiful light from more mullion windows. There are options for creative use of this level, aided by access through an existing lift—though it requires servicing.
Outside, the chapel is approached via a path that provides right-of-access through parish-owned land. While the surrounding grounds are not included in the sale, there is an established agreement between the church and local council concerning parking arrangements on adjacent land; prospective buyers should consult their solicitors regarding this matter for clarity.
Overall, this property offers not only historical charm but also considerable potential for redevelopment into residential spaces that honor its architectural significance while meeting contemporary living standards.
