High Street, Watton-At-Stone, Hertfordshire

A unique and exciting opportunity to acquire an attractive single storey building with ample parking in the High Street. Built in 1891, the Methodist Chapel was used as a place of worship until recently and is now offered for sale.
The Chapel provides main Church Hall, smaller hall to the rear, office, well fitted kitchen, storage and wcs. An attractive Memorial Garden is to the left of the building, with access to the rear car park, providing parking for 10+ vehicles, to the right. A time capsule is contained within a Centenary Stone positioned in the front elevation of the building.
Planning
As a Place of Worship the Chapel has an F1 planning consent. Offers conditional upon gaining planning change of use will not be considered.
The Chapel is listed in the Watton-at-Stone Neighbourhood Plan 2017-2033 as a Valued Community Facility. Permission for a change of use of these facilities would need to be supported by evidence that the facilities were no longer used with no likelihood that reuse was possible or desirable, or that their active use was to be replaced elsewhere and would still benefit village residents in accordance with East Herts District Plan Policy CFLR8. Alternative provision should be provided within walking or cycling distance of the existing facility.
VAT is not payable on the purchase price.
Conditional offers will not be considered.
AGENTS NOTE
As the current owners are a Registered Charity, the agreed sale must meet certain criteria. As a result we are not able to accept an offer conditional upon the property being removed from the market.
