A most unusual and substantial Methodist Chapel with adjacent former school building, which both have huge potential for a variety of alternative usages, (subject to planning permission) standing in a plot ext to approx 0.24 of an acre, in a semi-rural location close to the popular North Shropshire village of Shawbury, within easy motoring distance of nearby larger centres.
Description - Halls are favoured with instructions from Wem Methodist Church to offer Moreton Mill Methodist Chapel and school, near Shawbury for sale by Public Auction.
Moreton Mill Methodist Chapel is a most unusual and substantial Methodist Chapel with adjacent former school building, which both have huge potential for a variety of alternative usages, (subject to planning permission) standing in a plot ext to approx 0.24 of an acre, in a semi-rural location close to the popular North Shropshire village of Shawbury, within easy motoring distance of nearby larger centres.
The main Chapel was constructed in 1875 as a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel and offers surprisingly spacious internal accommodation of great character which retains numerous original features such as half timbering to lower level, stained glass window and also has a floor to ceiling height of 7.23m in parts so has potential for provision of a second floor if required (subject to PP).
The School Room which was the original Methodist Chapel was constructed in 1846 and offers excellent opportunities for ancillary accommodation.
A most unusual feature of Moreton Mill Methodist Chapel is the size of the plot which extends, in all, to 0.24 of an acre or thereabouts so has potential for super gardens. There is also a separate toilet block.
