A Public Convenience Paradise?

I can’t comment if the dogging car parked outside is a regular – but this detached former WC in Hastings Old Town is up for sale with a guide of £10-15k.  Located on the main tourist strip, Rock-a-Nore, there could be plenty of potential for alternative uses here.

I Am Feeling Rather Crypt-ed Out!

I have to confess – a former crypt doesn’t do it for me, but if you’re less touchy-feely, maybe this old crypt will appeal.  Guided at £25-30k, this brick built building has permission to be used as a studio/ office and/or artisan use.  It’s located in the Arundal cemetery, West Sussex – which is also close to town and the train station.  Handy if you do get a fright!

Your Very Own British Bake Off Base

Given the nation’s obsession with baking and caking this mill could serve well as a perfect base for Mary et al to congregate.  Obviously, it needs a bit of work first – and you’d have to convince people to shlep to Barton-Upon-Humber.  Anyway, with a guide of £125k it may be worth the trip for this potential development site which also comes with a concept design of 8 buildings around the courtyard.

Praise Be!

Don’t you just love a chapel – and isn’t this a stunner!  This Grade II listed Victorian former chapel (built 1873) is located in Rhondda with a guide of £90k.  As you’d expect it’s a good size at 246.1 sqm (2649 sqft).  It already has planning permission for conversion to a 5 bed home – and you can see from the stunning frontage – it’s already had some restoration work carried out.
