DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY, Cottingham Methodist Chapel, Cottingham, Market Harborough

A former Methodist chapel and adjoining church hall in Cottingham are offered as a conversion project, with consent granted for a four-bedroom home of approximately 2,350 sq. ft. The existing building includes a main reading room with balcony seating, a second function room, storage, a toilet and a rear kitchen. Its original proportions and architectural details provide the basis for a distinctive residential layout, subject to the approved scheme and any further permissions required. The property is freehold. Planning permission for residential use was granted in September 2022, and a further application relating to the proposed conversion has been submitted and is under consideration. The purchaser’s pack is available on request. The agent notes that construction and conservation costs have not been provided, so prospective buyers should obtain independent advice on the scope and cost of the works before proceeding. Outside, there is a gravelled frontage behind a low brick wall, two tandem off-road parking spaces at the gable end, and a small gravelled area to the rear. Cottingham has village amenities including pubs, a store and coffee house, a primary school and a village hall. Market Harborough and Uppingham are nearby, with rail services to London available from Market Harborough and Corby.
