Church Hall extending to 2,432 sq/ft with planning permission to convert into a four bedroom house

Originally constructed around 1850 as a school, use of the building as a school ended in 1956 when ownership was transferred to the church. It has been used ever since as a hall for church activities including services, meetings, fund raising and social events. The property is not listed and now benefits from planning permission to convert into a residential dwelling. The original historic buildings will be retained with the later additions demolished, including the 1950’s kitchen extension and 1980’s toilet block extension. The Main Hall, Jubilee Room, covered passages, and the former earth closet will be retained, and the exteriors will be restored and the interiors converted within the existing envelope into a single four bedroom property with the remaining land given over to gardens and two parking spaces.
