Description
A four-bedroom, single-storey former vicarage with an attached church building, offered freehold with vacant possession. The bungalow includes a rear conservatory, while the wider site extends to approximately 0.38 acres and has front and rear garden areas, hardstanding for parking and additional outbuildings. The stated total gross internal area is approximately 3,368 sq ft, comprising around 1,108 sq ft for the bungalow and 2,260 sq ft for the church.
The property is in a residential area of Scawthorpe, around three miles northwest of Doncaster city centre. The church is described as likely to fall within Class F1 and the former vicarage within Class C3, but these descriptions are not a planning guarantee. Redevelopment potential is subject to planning consent and verification. The freehold is subject to restrictive covenants, including limits on religious use of the church and restrictions on certain other uses, so buyers should review the title and make their own planning and legal enquiries.

Grade AStrong opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £300,000, this four-bedroom bungalow with an attached church hall offers an unusually low entry price for the floor area: about £89 per sq ft against a local average of £205. The bungalow is a medium-scale modernisation project, with dated finishes and worn flooring in several rooms, while the overgrown grounds offer scope for a substantial clear-up and improvement. The large open hall and 0.38-acre site make this a distinctive proposition, although any change to the church’s use is subject to planning, title restrictions and further investigation.
Key opportunities
- Modernise the bungalow’s dated interiors, including the visibly tired kitchen and shower room, and refresh finishes and flooring across several rooms.
- Clear and improve the overgrown grounds, with hardstanding and a garage-style door also visible.
- Explore the potential of the large open church hall, subject to planning, title restrictions and confirmation of adaptation requirements.
Key risks
- The church hall’s alternative use is uncertain: restrictive covenants limit use, and any change would require appropriate planning and title checks.
- Inspect the roof and building fabric closely; exterior views show no obvious major structural failure, but do not establish their condition.
