Description

An opportunity to acquire this most impressive property. A redundant Grade II listed 19th century church in need of renovation with the potential for conversion subject to the necessary planning consents and covenants.

Situation

The former St Michaels Church is located in the delightful village of Cathedine found between Bwlch and Llangorse. Nearby is Llangorse Lake and Crickhowell is approximately 8 miles away. Llangorse offers two public houses, a primary school and the lake is well known for its recreational facilities.
The market town of Brecon, 9 miles away, offers an excellent range of services and facilities including public and state school education. The town itself is vibrant, renowned for the famous annual Brecon Jazz festival and offers a wide range of amenities, shops and recreational facilities. Located within the Brecon Beacons National Park there is access to excellent walking and riding within stunning scenery available on the doorstep.

Accommodation

The interior of the church is of a traditional pattern and retains a wealth of features including fine stain glassed windows, a nave and elevated chancel. It is understood that it is not the original church on this site however as the original building dating from the middle-ages was destroyed by fire in approximately 1865 and rebuilt as it is seen today.

Covenants And Planning

The property is subject to restrictive covenants, details of which will be available in the legal pack. It is understood that approaches have been made to the Church In Wales and the response has been positive that it may be possible to remove the occupancy condition to allow a single dwelling house. This would still be subject to listed building consent being granted and agreement being confirmed.

Outside

The extent of the land being offered is shown in the plan attached. With an area to the north of the church being a bare patch of land free from visible burials. There is another bare area in the north-west of the churchyard which is included in the sale. A further area of land is located adjacent to the road on the eastern area of the churchyard however, it is understood that the church will reserve parking rights for one vehicle on the land for the use of the retained burial ground. The land will be subject to the provisions of the disused burial grounds (amendment) act of 1981. The successful purchaser would be responsible for erecting fences to the new boundaries.

Tenure
