Here’s one property you’d only buy if not easily spooked.
This former Methodist church in Burton Joyce is up for sale – with a price tag of £295,000.
The 3,252 sq ft property is on the market for less than the price of your average house in England, and can still be used as a place of worship or converted into a rather unique home – subject to planning permission.
Bids to buy the church must be received by today (May 20) at 12pm.
The church on Meadow Lane is Grade II listed and very pretty from the outside, with large, ornate windows and a spire.
Inside, you’ll see that the church pews and a raised pulpit are all still in place.
The building comprises a traditional church structure of primarily brick elevations with stone detailing, beneath a pitched slate covered roof and benefitting from a prominent spire. Internally the property has until recently been used for assembly and worship purposes.
From the main entrance, a small vestibule leads to a hallway, off which the main church area is accessed, which has a gently sloping suspended timber floor. There is a substantial church organ and raised pulpit area. Behind is a church hall or school room with various ancillary rooms off providing storage, office, kitchen and WC facilities including a single disabled provision.
The deadline for bids is 12pm today.
The local community have been trying to prevent the church from getting into the hands of developers – and could still bid to save it.
