Former Chapel with Planning

Crewe, CW1 - Get Access

Description

The property comprises a former chapel measuring approximately 245 sq.m (Gross Internal Area), currently utilized for commercial storage. The site benefits from full planning consent for the demolition of the existing premises and the construction of five townhouses, offering excellent potential for developers and investors. The property may also offer potential for alternative uses, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. Situated in a highly accessible location, the surrounding area features an established residential and commercial mix, comprising traditional Victorian terraced housing, low-rise multi-family flats, local retail units, community centres, and light commercial spaces typical of Crewe's town centre periphery. Major supermarkets, independent retailers, and dining options are within a short walking distance. Transport links are highly efficient, with regular local bus services operating nearby and Crewe railway station located approximately 1.8 kilometres away, providing direct high-speed rail connections to London, Manchester, and Birmingham. Planning permission was granted on 29th May 2024 (Ref: 24/1259N) for the demolition of the existing building and the erection of five townhouses and ancillary works. The proposed scheme comprises five 2/3-bedroom townhouses ranging from 70 to 73 sq.m (753 to 786 sq.ft) each, with an estimated combined Gross Development Value of £1,000,000 and an estimated annual rental value of £60,000 per annum.
