Description
A unique opportunity to purchase a former Methodist Chapel, located in the heart of the popular village of Exning. The attractive scheme is likely to appeal to owner/occupiers and developers alike.
The original chapel comprises a detached building which we understand was built c.1834, with further extensions added in the 19th and 20th centuries. The chapel has a current gross internal area of approx. 205m2 (2,209sq.ft.).
Planning permission was granted earlier this year for the change of use and conversion of the existing building to a single residential dwelling, together with the approval for the erection of a separate detached dwelling in the area that current comprises the car park. Full documents and plans can be seen on the local council’s planning pages under planning reference DC/16/0356/FUL.
The scheme approves the conversion of the existing building to form a stylish house with: Entrance hall; living room; kitchen/dining room; utility room and ground floor bedroom and shower room. At first floor level there are a further 2 bedrooms with en-suites.
The planning permission also permits the creation of a new 2 bedroom house with the approved plans giving consent for: Entrance hall, living room, kitchen/breakfast room and shower room, with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms at first floor level, and off road car parking.
