Estate Agent: Your Move - Wigton 016973 44797
The old United Reformed church is a unique opportunity prime for redevelopment. The property is located in the market town of Wigton and is close to all local amenities and good transport and rail links. The exterior of the property is Grade 11 listed and as are the windows, the inside has now had this lifted. Planning permission was granted in 2013 to convert the building into a Museum and Heritage Centre with a commercial and cafe area, this was based around a new four floor configuration, also a new entrance from the grounds onto the Council run car park.
The four floor configuration was never achieved, but is a good indication of the full potential for the buildings redevelopment.
Consultation with the new Cumberland Council planning department would be recommended for guidance on any new usage. A lot more information including plans, and reports will be in the Auction Pack.
