Description

This Grade II listed former chapel in the centre of Ellerton is offered freehold with vacant possession. The building extends to approximately 102 square metres and has full planning permission and listed building consent for conversion to a two-bedroom home under revised scheme 25/00841/PLF. The approved proposals retain the chapel's historic character while adapting it for residential use. The village setting is bordered by neighbouring homes, with Pocklington, Market Weighton and Selby among the nearby towns. Buyers should note the instruction to enter the building at their own risk.

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

56out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £100,000, this is a strikingly low-cost entry point against the local £/sqf average, making the acquisition price a clear strength. The Grade II listed chapel’s arched windows and historic frontage offer a distinctive canvas, and the listing says full planning permission and listed building consent have been granted for conversion to a two-bedroom home, including a proposed mezzanine bedroom area. Confirm the approved details and feasibility before relying on that layout.

This is a full conversion project rather than a cosmetic update: the chapel interior remains intact, with damaged finishes and open ceiling areas visible. The score is held back by limited condition and economics data, so the cheap entry price is not enough on its own to establish the finished project’s viability.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire the chapel at a low asking price relative to local £/sqf, leaving scope to create value through a considered conversion.
  • Turn the open chapel interior into a two-bedroom home while retaining and showcasing the arched openings and historic character.
  • Explore the proposed mezzanine bedroom arrangement, subject to confirming the approved drawings and practical feasibility.

Key risks

  • The intact chapel layout, damaged finishes and open ceiling areas point to a substantial conversion programme and budget, not a cosmetic refresh.
  • The photographs do not establish the condition of the roof or structure, so these need checking before committing to the project.
