A Heavenly Opportunity For A Holy Hideaway. It won’t take a miracle to transform this 1 bedroom terrace in a former town centre chapel. It could easily be turned into a nice little btl, holiday let, a unique first home or somewhere to retire in style.
This unusual 1 bedroom property is only a short walk from the town centre shops, so it’s bound to appeal to a wide range of buyers.
It should be equally attractive to those looking to get onto the housing ladder and those planning their final move. It’s also going to be of interest to savvy investors looking for long term btl tenants or short term Airbnb guests.
The ground floor has a compact, open plan layout. You step straight into the living room which has a kitchen area at the rear and also stairs to the double bedroom on the mezzanine first floor.
The recently modernised bathroom is at the rear, with an electric shower over the bath.
Unlike the bathroom, the rest of the property will benefit from some tlc - but then again it’s not going to take much to give it a lick of paint and replace the carpets.
Updating the kitchen will be the biggest job but again, being quite small it’s not going to break the bank to replace the current tired units with something stylish and modern.
It only has electric storage heating at the moment, so before you embark on some much needed cosmetic tlc you may want to bring the gas in, install a new boiler and a central heating system.
Being so close to the town centre you may not need a car, but if you do need to park there’s plenty of residents on street parking on New Street.
It won’t take a miracle to transform this former chapel!
Once modernised, given the 2-minutes-from-the-shops location, if you rent it out you can expect the tenancy applications from town centre workers to come flooding in. Or Airbnb enquiries from tourist guests or budget conscious contractors.
Then again you may be looking for a quirky first time buy or a manageable alternative to a boring retirement flat.
Whatever your plans, this unusual little project property is bound to be popular so don’t miss out - call to arrange a viewing.
