Steeped in history and architectural character, Providence Chapel is a remarkable former place of worship dating from 1834. Designed by renowned Victorian architect Benjamin Gummon and commissioned by Sir Watkins Williams-Wynn. This freehold chapel presents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive historic building with exceptional potential for further residential, creative, or alternative use.
Arranged over three floors, the property retains the generous proportions and sense of openness associated with its original purpose. Each level offers predominantly open-plan accommodation, with abundant natural light provided by windows positioned along both sides of the building.
The ground floor forms the central and most versatile level of the property. The space is open and spacious, with separate steel staircases providing access to both the upper and lower floors. The scale and flexibility lend themselves to a wide range of potential configurations, subject to the necessary consents.
The upper floor is currently divided into two rooms, although the layout could be readily reconfigured to create a single impressive open-plan space or a number of individual rooms according to the requirements of a future owner.
The lower ground floor provides further substantial open-plan accommodation and benefits from direct access to the garden through a large garage-style door. There is also access towards the front of the property, leading out towards the riverbank garden.
Throughout, Providence Chapel offers an unusual combination of historic significance, generous proportions, natural light and considerable flexibility. A truly individual property with enormous potential to be transformed while retaining the character and story of its Victorian past.
EPC rating: G. Tenure: Freehold,
Ground Floor
Ground floor (entrance) - An open plan space with impressive proportions and lots of natural light. Requires refurbishment to suit requirements, subject to consents.
Garage/Workshop
A spacious garage/workshop extending to approximately 38ft in length, offering a highly versatile area with considerable potential. The space features exposed timber ceiling beams, a timber floor, multiple windows providing natural light and a staircase connecting to the upper level. Currently used for storage and workshop purposes, its generous proportions provide excellent scope for a variety of uses, subject to any necessary consents.
First Floor
A large landing centred around the staircase, providing further highly adaptable accommodation. Character features include arched windows and an interesting arrangement of openings, while the generous floor area could lend itself to a range of configurations as part of a wider renovation scheme. The space requires updating and improvement throughout.
Adjoining this space is a particularly generous room offering a wealth of potential. The accommodation benefits from characterful arched and conventional windows, providing natural light and distinctive architectural interest. The room is presently in need of comprehensive modernisation, with areas of unfinished walling and visible deterioration to some surfaces. Its substantial footprint nevertheless presents an excellent blank canvas for refurbishment.
Outside Space
Providence Chapel benefits from a large plot to the rear that could be used for a multitude of purposes. Whether that be for a residential garden/parking as part of the chapel itself, or for redevelopment into numerous residential dwellings, subject to the necessary consents.
The site is currently used as parking for the property, and could retain this use, whilst also offering potential for redevelopment.
There is also a sizeable plot to the front of the property flanked on one side by an original stone wall separating the site from the access road, and Afon Eitha Brook on the other side. There are mature shrubs and trees offering peace and quiet, which envelops what could be a tranquil garden and entertaining space.
