Present Day: The Old Chapel, New Road, Chatteris, Cambridgeshire, PE16 6BJ.

This is a partially restored church building ~~for sale~~. The current owners have, regretfully, been unable to complete the project. Consequently, it is now available for sale and a new owner to make this character property into a fine and unique home.

A very large, detached former Methodist Chapel which has planning consent granted for conversion to a large, luxury 3-4 bedroom home with a master suite consisting of large bedroom, en-suite and dressing room on a mezzanine level (to be installed). Formal separate sitting room and a huge open plan main living area, consisting of living/dining area, kitchen, toilet and storage cupboard. Work has been started on the property and approximately £100,000 has been spent so far. The owner is happy to email a list of works currently completed.

The internal ground floor area is approximately 2,368.1 square feet – equating to around 220 square metres. A big building with great potential.

There are many beautiful features including stunning stained glass leaded windows which have been fully restored. We have installed a large log burner in the sitting room and also a flue has been installed at the other end of the building so you can add another log burner should you wish.

Olden Times: The Old Chapel, New Road, Chatteris, Cambridgeshire, PE16 6BJ.

History:

This beautiful old building was built in 1903 originally as a Sunday School, was then used as a Chapel but has also been a penny cinema, a youth club and has had soldiers billeted here during the war!

Planning Permission:

Planning consent is for a single dwelling. However, when the current owners purchased the property it had permission to create 2 houses: a 1 x 2 bed and a 1 x 3 bed semi-detached. There remains the possibility of reverting back to these plans if required, subject to permission from the District Council. Copies of one or both sets of plans can be emailed upon request.

Meanwhile, the outside space is probably best illustrated by a look at the plan drawings…
