The Methodist chapel in Lowca near Whitehaven is due to go up for sale, featuring among more than 100 lots at Pugh’s next North West property auction, at the AJ Bell Stadium in Manchester on 25 February.
Built in 1910, the 1,500 sq ft, single-storey chapel is being auctioned with a guide price of £65,000 and has outline planning consent for conversion to a house with a new detached garage and garden.
The chapel’s elevated position, on West Croft Terrace in the village, means it has views out to sea and to Whitehaven harbour.
Paul Thompson, managing director of auction house Pugh, said: “This is a rare opportunity to create a fantastic residential property in a brilliant location.
“Not only is Lowca a peaceful coastal village with great countryside and walks on the doorstep, it is also close to the lake District and just a mile from Parton railway station, which links to Whitehaven and Workington.”
