The property comprises an imposing, stone-built, Grade II Listed church building dating from the early 19th century. Constructed in ashlar stone, beneath a pitched slate roof, the church features architectural detailing, including arched doorways and a prominent tower with large square-section pinnacles. The church is surrounded by a heavily buried churchyard, giving little scope for external amenity space. The building has a single-storey extension to the rear (built c.2000), which could potentially be removed to create external space. The churchyard is closed for burials and will remain in the ownership of the Parochial Church Council (PCC), who will remain responsible for maintaining it. The freehold interest in the property is offered for sale. The final 'red line' is to be agreed, but will include only the footprint of the building and its immediate curtilage, and none of the grave-covered churchyard. Easements relating to access will be granted over the churchyard in favour of the purchaser.

How buying it together would work

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
