Place of Worship
The property is believed to have been a former Co-Operative store, likely to have been constructed in the late-1950s/early-1960s, of brick and steel-framed construction, under a flat concrete roof, with pitched roofs to the front and rear gables. In more recent times, the property has been used as a Place of Worship, and benefits from a reception lobby to the side leading to a Chapel, which is open-plan, having at high level, carpeted floor, painted plastered walls, and central heating radiators. To the rear of the Chapel is a kitchen/cafe area and access off to a cellar, with accessible WC, storeroom, and office.
There is an internal staircase leading to the first floor with a small mezzanine, accommodating a further WC. The first floor is open-plan, with a secondary kitchen off. The room has been used for assembly and leisure purposes, and has painted walls, exposed steel frame, and a mix of UPVC and metal-framed windows to the perimeter. Externally, there are two off-street car parking spaces to the front, and a small enclosed area to the rear and side.
The property is located off Valley Road, within Bilsthorpe, Nottinghamshire. Bilsthorpe is a Village with a resident population of 3,375 inhabitants (2011 census), and was once synonymous with coal mining, with Bilsthorpe Colliery operating from 1927 before its closure in 1997. The principal roads in the area are the A614 and A617, and the settlement lies five-miles to the south of Ollerton, and nine-miles east of Mansfield.
It is understood that mains electricity, water, and drainage are connected to the property. The heating system was served by an oil-fired boiler. No tests have been undertaken, and no warranties are given or implied.
The property has previously been used as a Place of Worship, which falls within Use Class F1 of the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987, (Amended) (England) Regulations 2020. The property offers potential for alternative uses, and we would recommend any interested parties make their own enquiries with the local authority, Newark & Sherwood District Council. Prospective buyers are advised to make all necessary independent enquiries prior to placing their bid as this will be binding.
