Description
A detached stone-built former chapel on a corner plot in Threshfield, within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The single-storey building has level access and is offered as a conversion opportunity, subject to obtaining the necessary permissions. The listing notes the possibility of creating a two-storey layout, although feasibility would need to be established.
Mains electricity and water are installed, but the water is currently disconnected and the property has no drainage connection. There is no allocated parking. The surrounding grounds provide outdoor space, and the village is close to Grassington, with Skipton around nine miles away. Local facilities listed include shops, a small supermarket, schools and a medical centre.

Confidence: MEDIUM
At £125,000, this detached stone former chapel is offered well below the local £/sqf benchmark, making the entry price a clear attraction. Its large open interior, distinctive chapel form and enclosed grounds give a buyer scope to shape a residential or commercial conversion, subject to permissions. The interior is worn rather than finished, and the overgrown grounds add to the transformation ahead; the roof’s visible green growth also needs inspection. The £90,000–£180,000 renovation range puts the purchase plus works at roughly £215,000–£305,000, so costs are stretched against the local average benchmark for this floor area; that comparison is not a post-works value forecast. Limited photo coverage makes the renovation estimate further provisional.
Key opportunities
- Rework the large open chapel volume into a residential or commercial layout, with a possible two-storey arrangement subject to feasibility and permissions.
- Restore the distinctive stone building and turn the enclosed, overgrown grounds into usable outdoor space.
- Acquire at a substantial discount to the local £/sqf benchmark, leaving scope to define the finished scheme.
Key risks
- The worn, unfinished interior and neglected grounds, alongside a £90,000–£180,000 works range, make this a full conversion programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- Purchase plus the stated works range is roughly £215,000–£305,000, above the £188,620 local-average benchmark for this floor area; that benchmark is not a forecast of renovated value.
- Green growth across much of the roof needs inspection to establish its condition and maintenance needs.
- Water is currently disconnected and there is no drainage connection; servicing the building will need to be addressed.
- Expect total exposure near £260,000 once the asking price and an estimated £135,000 of refurbishment are combined — around 27% above what similar-sized stock commands locally today. Finished value after works is not modelled here.
