This handsome Grade II Listed Victorian former Presbyterian Chapel believed to date from 1850, is of stone construction and has retained several features including round arched windows with yellow brick heads, panelled doors, sash windows, and a galleried balcony. The building has an approximate overall size of about 2,500 ft2 (233 m2) and comprises the original two storey chapel with ancillary rooms, plus an attached two bedroomed cottage with private garden, having been converted in the early 1900's. Off road parking for several vehicles.

Making this an attractive proposition for buyers seeking an unusual domestic/leisure/home-life mix in an area popular for primary home owners and lending itself to future commercial/tourism opportunities too. Interested parties are referred to Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council planning department under reference C/2007/0360, dated 4th October 2007.This property is offered to the market with the benefit of no onward chain. Buyers are advised that whilst the cottage has been refurbished by the owners and is currently occupied on a residential letting basis, the undeveloped chapel does still require renovation.
