Description
DEVELOPMENT, INVESTMENT or OCCUPATION OPPORTUNITY. A rare opportunity to purchase a substantial building and current place of Worship, situated in the sought after Bear Flats region of this historic city. The building offers over 7000 sq.ft of space, arranged principally over two large halls with ancillary rooms with separate access to both the front and rear. Viewings strictly by appointment only.
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial property dating from the early 20th Century situated south of Bath city centre with frontage on both Shakespeare Avenue and Bruton Avenue offering excellent opportunities for development, investment or occupation. This impressive building, constructed with coursed and squared Bathstone under pitched roofs clad with slate, offers extensive space reaching over 7,000 sq.ft.
The original church building, dating from 1907 and extended in 1912, features entrance vestibules, a central vestibule, a Dais, and an organ loft. It also includes a Vestry with a small store and a lounge area.
The schoolroom section provides an entrance lobby, disabled adapted cloakroom, separate male and female cloakrooms, a storeroom, youth room, and a crèche facility. A spacious main hall with its own entrance lobby, three additional storerooms (formerly classrooms), and a fitted kitchen complete this space. The property also benefits from a basement housing a boiler room and workshop area.
Architectural details include buttressed walls and a striking tower at the south-west corner, surmounted by a timber-framed steeple clad with slate. Internally, the buildings feature fair-faced stonework, plastered and painted walls, and mainly solid floors, with some raked flooring within the church section.
Situation
The property is located in the sought after Bear Flats area to the south of the city which is a heritage city renowned for its rich history, Georgian architecture, culture, and vibrant community. The city has a wide array of facilities, cultural attractions, independent shops, diverse dining options, and green spaces. The area benefits from excellent transport links with Bath Spa train station less than 1 mile from the property and road networks include the A36/46, the M4 and M5. Bear Flats is a friendly residential community, at the heart of which is a vibrant high street boasting a number of fantastic independent cafes, pubs and restaurants and is only a short distance to the City centre.
