Lindale, St Paul
Once the ‘beating heart’ of the village this beautiful, Grade II listed Lake District Church (built in 1828) is very sadly now closed, in need of repair and a new lease of life. This does present a very exciting and unique opportunity for those imaginative buyers looking for a rewarding and unusual project. This historic building boasts a wealth of stunning period features, including beautiful stained glass windows, ornate wooden fretwork (some to be removed) and intricate stonework. There is real potential (subject to relevant consents) that this magnificent and peaceful building could potentially become (with lots of determination and vision) an enviable, charming and unique home. Perhaps some sort of community hub? There are certainly many possibilities. Whatever is decided it is a chance to preserve a very special piece of local history while enhancing its value through thoughtful restoration. Expressions of interest should be made direct to the Agent and include details of; the proposed use, financial offer, details of any proposed alterations to the building and proof of funds for the purchase and any necessary works to the building to facilitate the proposed use.

How buying it together would work
- Pledge a number. Your name and amount go on this page. It is a signal, not a payment — nobody is charged, and you can ask to be removed at any time.
- Reach the number. When pledges cover the asking price (plus a reserve for closing costs, title, survey and the first year of upkeep), the page closes and the group is introduced.
- Form the entity. Neighbors decide the structure — a nonprofit, a co-op, a land trust, or a single buyer with donations. A real-estate attorney drafts it; a title company or solicitor holds funds in escrow.
- Buy, then decide what it is. Worship, a community hall, a school, housing, or simply keeping the doors open and the organ playing. The deed records the promise.
