Description
The property comprises a Grade II listed Methodist church and associated land, constructed in the early 20th Century.
The property is constructed in a traditional manner, with brick and stone elevations beneath a pitched and tiled roof, with stained glass windows within stone frames.

To the north of the site, there is a single-storey out-building, constructed in a similar manner to the remaining property, albeit entirely separate, with a dedicated entrance door.
Internally, the individual floors vary in size and layout. Generally each floor benefits from natural light. The lower-ground and ground floors incorporate an under croft hall area for Sunday school, along with associated ancillary, meeting and storage space, along with a kitchen.
The first floor houses the main hall of worship, with original organ, vestries and storage areas, along with a mezzanine seating area and entrance lobby.
Generally, walls and ceilings are plastered and painted, with either concrete, timber, or carpeted flooring. The main hall of worship incorporates fitted timber pews and columns, along with a timber framed nave.
The property sits on a site of approximately 0.149 hectares (0.369 acres).

By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
