St George’s is a Grade II Listed church building with multiple features of architectural importance including a range of stained glass windows and memorials. There is a very well used memorial garden on the northern elevation of the property. The property itself is of a traditional construction as expected of a church building of this age with solid sandstone walls, pitched timber framed roof under a traditional slate surface. Cast iron guttering and downpipes and stone framed single glazed, lead lined windows. The property sits within a large site, with the majority of the land used for burials. Land as defined on the attached plan is offered for sale with the building. The property has a small road which runs all the way around the building which can be used for vehicular access. To the north of the site there is a small rectangular plot of land which would likely be suitable for redevelopment or indeed repurposing as car parking for the church building as part of its future use. From our on site measurements we calculate the property to provide 255 sq m (2,745 sq ft) of gross internal area. The property has a maximum cleared height of 6.47m to the apex of the roof. Key features

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.
