Property description
An exciting opportunity to develop this magical former chapel, in a delightful rural setting on the south side of Farnham. This beautiful property was originally built as a school house in 1863 for the children of the workers from Moor Park and was later officially dedicated to the church in 1918.
Description
The building is predominantly of stone construction, having wood framed windows and under a pitched roof with a tile covering. To the side and adjoining the Church is a small annexe building of similar construction, which we understand houses the electric meters and has previously been used for storage purposes.There is limited space outside the footprint of the building, which is predominantly rough ground, although with some paving to the front.This is a self-contained site with potential for alternative use i.e. studio, workshop, meeting hall etc. or development - all subject to planning.
Accommodation
The internal floor area of the Church is approximately 380 sq ft (35 sq m) with the building to the side providing a further approximately 43 sq ft (4 sq m). We would recommend the addition of a mezzanine floor.
Location
St. Mary's Church is located in a sought after residential area on the outskirts of Farnham, fronting Old Compton Lane, a narrow wooded lane on the south side of the town. The immediate area surrounding the property is a mix of woodland and private housing. There is a public footpath that adjoins the northern boundary and an electricity sub station adjoining the eastern boundary. The nearby B3001 gives easy access to Farnham town centre and the mainline railway station.
Directions
From Farnham town centre take South Street out of town towards the station, at the level crossing bear left into Waverley Lane and follow for approximately half a mile turning left into Old Compton Lane. Follow the road for approximately 300 yards bearing right into Old Compton Lane, take the first right and follow the road for approximately half a mile where the Church can be find on the left hand side.
