Description
The former Weaverham Methodist Church is a Grade II listed building dating from 1878, with planning permission for conversion and restoration into three self-contained apartments. The consented scheme also includes landscaping and seven on-site parking spaces. The listing states that no Community Infrastructure Levy is payable.
The church retains its Gothic Revival character, including an orange-brick exterior, terracotta detailing, pointed-arch windows and a prominent gabled frontage. Its historic structure and architectural features provide the basis for a distinctive residential conversion, subject to the requirements associated with a listed building.
The property is in Weaverham's historic village centre, close to local shops, cafés, pubs and everyday services. The sale is aimed at purchasers seeking a substantial conversion project with residential planning established. Further details of the approved plans, listed-building requirements and implementation conditions should be checked with the relevant authorities and advisers.

Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £350,000, the former Weaverham Methodist Church is offered at about £131 per sq ft, well below the local average of £275 per sq ft—a compelling entry point for a distinctive project. Its Grade II listed brick façade, Gothic detailing, historic trusses and gallery give the building real character, while the listing states that planning permission has been granted for conversion into three apartments with on-site parking. Verify the consent and its conditions, and allow for the requirements that come with listed-building work.
This is a heavy conversion, not a cosmetic refresh: the interior is unfinished, with peeling finishes, loose materials and debris, and the side yard needs clearance. The visible façade appears intact, though the roof condition is not established. The low price is a clear strength, but the overall score remains weak because the project is substantial and renovation economics are insufficiently evidenced.
Key opportunities
- Rework the church’s historic interior into three individual homes under the stated planning consent, subject to verifying the permission and listed-building requirements.
- Retain and repair distinctive features such as the historic roof trusses, gallery and pointed-arch windows to create homes with architectural character.
- Acquire at a notably low asking price per sq ft compared with the local average, with seven parking spaces stated in the consented scheme.
Key risks
- The unfinished, debris-strewn interior calls for a heavy full-gut conversion programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; plan carefully for the time, coordination and cash required.
- The roof condition is not established in the supplied views, so it should be inspected as part of assessing the building and conversion scope.
