Offering plenty of character and potential for renovation, this unique former chapel is in a convenient location near to local amenities including a pub and several river walks.
Abbotts says that this building could be adapted to a create a fantastic open plan home (subject to planning permission), but potential buyers should be ready to roll their sleeves up, because this building requires a total renovation project.
Inside, the property currently comprises a large open main area with an additional room to the side. This could suit a variety of different layouts.
Outside, the plot includes several outbuildings and a courtyard space which could be converted into a lovely outdoor seating area. Abbotts notes that there is not currently a council tax banding for this property.
