A FORMER chapel set amid glorious countryside in a South Wales valleys village is going for a song at auction this month (August).
The impressive grade II listed Salem Chapel on Garth Terrace, in the village of Bedlinog, near Treharris, in Mid Glamorgan, could be snapped up for just £20,000.
Sean Roper, of South Wales-Based Paul Fosh Auctions who are selling the chapel, said: “This could be an ideal investment for someone with barrels of imagination and a wish to realise their dreams of living a good life in this attractive South Wales valleys location.
“The former chapel retains many of its original features including oak pews and swathes of panelling, wood panelled ceiling, pulpit and balconies. It would appear to be ideal for conversion to residential, commercial or community use, subject to getting all the necessary planning consents.
“The beautiful village of Bedlinog lies in a semi-rural position surrounded by truly stunning countryside and benefiting from local shops and amenities and the nearby world famous climbing centre. “
“A real benefit of this property is that the new owner may offer scope for the buyer to live in the rear vestry while renovating the main chapel, subject to necessary planning consents.”
The property currently offers entrance foyer with stairs to both sides leading to a seated gallery. There is a pulpit, vestry and store room . There is also an attractive galleried seating area. A pathway leads to the chapel and graveyard and side access to vestry.
Salem Chapel is included along with eighty other properties which are being offered for sale online at Paul Fosh Auctions which starts from 12 noon on Tuesday, August 27 and ends from 5pm on Thursday, August 29.
