DESCRIPTION
The property is a substantial stone built structure with pitched roof covered in slate set within its own grounds which are raised to the highway and bounded by St Johns Road and St Johns Place. Internally the property still maintains original features and provides the former church area extending to some c4,250 sq.ft. together with kitchen, vestry, side room and balcony. 

The main ground floor area extends to c4,750 sq.ft. with an additional balcony area extending to 447sq.ft. The property is sold with a benefit of historic planning consent and listed building consent. Planning permission for the site was granted by Sefton Council on 21st July 2010 (its ref: S/2010/0742) for the conversion of this listed building to six dwellings. 

In addition to the communal areas the planning permission does provide for the development of the former church to provide 2x two bedroom apartments and 4x three bedroom apartments with the plans taking full advantage of the height and features in this building. Notwithstanding the existing planning consent for the conversion of the building to six self contained flats, alternative uses may be possible subject to the necessary consents where required such as offices, nursery/crèche or indeed other uses, subject to consent.

Buyers are advised to make their own detailed enquiries with regards planning and listed building details as well as surveying & measuring of the premises and plot before bidding at the auction.
