Commercial, Freehold
A former Gospel Chapel situated close to all local amenities and with potential for a variety of uses (subject to all usual consents being obtained)
Currently classified under heading F1 (business and planning act 2020) as a place of worship. A current, live application for change of use to class E is yet to be decided, however acceptance is anticipated.
Alternative use for housing/redevelopment has been explored and in the most part rejected by Swale Borough council. However, it is felt that perhaps a Live/Work scheme utilising the current building may be looked on more favourably. You should of course make your own enquiries in this regard before entering into a contract to purchase. We cannot advise further on this scheme.
In its current format, the property would make a great creative or community space or offers potential for office use. A large forecourt and parking area make for easy parking or additional storage.
Total internal floor space: approx. 100m2 (1076ft2)
Main room: 9m x 5.1m
Kitchen: 3.6m x 2.6m
Office: 3.6m x 2.5m
Cloakrooms: separate men and women’s facilities, plus an additional disabled access toilet
As a place of worship, the building is currently exempt from business rates. If the use is changed, the VOA will need to assess for rates and decide the value. For more information on this visit the business rates section on the gov.uk website.
