Description

Providence Chapel is a former place of worship dating from 1834, attributed in the listing to architect Benjamin Gummon and commissioned by Sir Watkins Williams-Wynn. The building is arranged over three floors, with broad, mostly open-plan spaces and windows on both sides. The ground floor has separate steel staircases to the upper and lower levels. Upstairs, two currently empty rooms could be retained or reconfigured, subject to the necessary consents. The lower-ground floor includes a large workshop or garage-style space with access towards the garden and riverbank. The property is described as requiring refurbishment and updating. Its substantial rooms, arched windows and exposed timber structure provide scope for a purchaser to plan a new use and layout, subject to relevant permissions. There are plots to both the front and rear; the rear is currently used for parking, while the front includes mature planting and a stone boundary wall beside Afon Eitha Brook. Any residential conversion, alternative use or redevelopment would require the appropriate consents to be confirmed. The listing gives an EPC rating of G.

Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

Providence Chapel is a distinctive 1834 stone building with arched windows, exposed timber and generous open spaces across three levels. The asking price is £94/sq ft against a local average of £220, making the acquisition unusually cheap on that measure. The interiors are unfinished and workshop-like, with damaged surfaces and a basic sink area; the grounds also need clearance. That gives a buyer scope to plan a substantial residential fit-out, reshape the open floors and make the most of the chapel’s character, subject to feasibility and any required consents. The roof and concealed condition have not been established from the photos.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the expansive, open-plan floors and stair-connected levels into a considered residential layout, subject to feasibility and consents.
  • Retain and highlight the stone elevations, arched windows and exposed timber to give a conversion distinctive character.
  • Clear and improve the grounds, including the riverbank garden, and make better use of the described outdoor plots and parking.

Key risks

  • The extensive unfinished fit-out, damaged internal surfaces and grounds clearance make this a full conversion programme; the £90,000–£180,000 works range calls for careful budgeting and programme planning.
