Former Victorian cemetery chapel

A former Victorian cemetery chapel situated within the grounds of Horsforth Cemetery and offering potential for restoration and alternative use. Dating from 1881, the stone-built property is of Gothic Revival design and features a central square tower topped by a tall slated spire. Other architectural details include pitched slate roofs, pointed-arched openings, stone buttresses, carved crosses and a traceried window. Internally, the accommodation includes the principal former chapel and worship space, together with additional rooms arranged over the ground and first floors. The building retains stained-glass windows and a number of period features. The property represents an unique opportunity for a purchaser seeking a character building with potential for a range of alternative uses, subject to obtaining the necessary consents. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves regarding the building’s condition, services, internal configuration and suitability for their intended use. The property is situated within the established grounds of Horsforth Cemetery, approximately five miles north-west of Leeds city centre. The cemetery can be accessed from Calverley Lane and Victoria Mount, with the chapel approached via the internal cemetery roads. Horsforth is a popular and well-established suburb offering a range of shops, cafés, restaurants and other amenities, principally around Town Street and New Road Side. The area benefits from good road and public transport connections, including rail services from Horsforth station and access to Leeds city centre, Bradford and Leeds Bradford Airport.
