The Chapel, Westminster Drive, Radcliffe on Trent, NG12 2NL

A truly exceptional and increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a striking former chapel building extending to approximately 4,523 sq ft, offering enormous scope for sympathetic conversion or renovation, subject to the necessary planning consents.

Occupying a delightful position within the highly regarded Upper Saxondale development, The Chapel presents a compelling proposition for developers, investors or private purchasers seeking a landmark building with remarkable potential in an enviable Nottinghamshire setting.

The vendors have received written ‘advice’ from the Borough Council indicating that they may be minded in principle to support conversion of the Chapel to two dwellings with on -site parking, based upon conversion plans submitted to the Council to support the request for pre-application ‘advice’.

Originally constructed in the early 1900s as part of the historic Saxondale Hospital estate, the chapel was designed to serve as the spiritual heart of the community and today remains an impressive example of ecclesiastical architecture from the period.

Whilst no longer used as a church, the building retains an abundance of original character and heritage features, creating a dramatic and atmospheric interior unlike anything else currently available on the market.

The substantial internal footprint of 4,523 sq ft, combined with the scale, proportions and architectural detailing, creates an extraordinary canvas for future redevelopment, with the potential to create a truly spectacular residential dwelling or alternative scheme, subject to planning permission.

Inside The principal chapel hall is an utterly breathtaking space, characterised by magnificent vaulted ceilings rising to approximately 11 metres at ridge height, with stunning timber panelling, exposed arches and dramatic proportions throughout.

A series of beautiful stained glass windows flood the interior with natural light, enhancing the building’s unique atmosphere and historic charm, whilst a striking iconographic stained glass window elsewhere within the building provides an especially impressive heritage feature.

The sheer scale and visual impact of the accommodation immediately highlight the exceptional possibilities available for future reconfiguration and conversion, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The property currently includes a fitted kitchen with a range of base and wall units, WC facilities and several ancillary areas providing practical supporting accommodation.

The immense internal footprint of approximately 4,523 sq ft offers remarkable versatility and flexibility for a variety of future uses or conversion opportunities, making this an increasingly rare and exciting proposition for purchasers seeking a truly distinctive project.

Grounds To the rear, the chapel enjoys attractive grounds with a number of mature trees creating a wonderfully private and established backdrop.

The outdoor space further enhances the development potential of the site, with scope for the creation of private gardens, garaging or additional parking provision, subject to the necessary consents.

There is also potential to establish improved access around the rear of the property, significantly enhancing the versatility and long-term value of the site.
