Development opportunity to acquire this Substantial former Chapel in prominent town centre location in Port Talbot - suitable for a variety of uses

Guide Price* : £58,000+

Description

A Former chapel in the centre of Port Talbot originally constructed in 1879 which is now disused and has been subject to recent fire damage which has caused substantial damage to the roof. The chapel in its current state is prime for redevelopment into a variety of uses subject to necessary consent or demolition and development on the existing land. The building itself is of brick/stone construction with dressed stone and rendered elevations and appears to have been extended at some point to the rear of the property. Inside, the property extends over three floors to over 6,500 sq ft of accommodation and retains many of the original features including the church organ and a large lower ground floors level.

The chapel had previous planning approval (2004) for conversion and use as a Bar/Restaurant but please consult Neath Port Talbot council for further details.

Bethany Chapel is situated centrally and occupies a prominent corner high street presence on the main pedestrian shopping street of Port Talbot. Other local retailers include Principality Building society, Post Office, Peacocks, Home Bargains and various banks.

* Generally speaking Guide Prices are provided as an indication of each seller's minimum expectation, i.e. 'The Reserve'. They are not necessarily figures which a property will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction. Virtually every property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the Auctioneer cannot sell the property during the auction) which we expect will be set within the Guide Range or no more than 10% above a single figure Guide.
