We are informed that all mains services are connected to the property, although interested parties should address any specific enquiries to the relevant service providers.

Town & country planning

The property is not Listed but does fall within a Conservation Area and it is believed that any significant changes to its external appearance would be resisted by the planning authority.

The present use of the building is within D1 of the Used Classes Order as a place of worship which would also permit other community uses such as clinics, surgeries, creches, day nurseries and consulting rooms.

Alternatively, given its location within a residential area of the town, it is considered that the property would be suitable for conversion to a single residential property or a residential property occupied in parts. Planning permission would be required for any such change of use.

Interested parties should address any specific enquiries to the planning authority.
