Woldgate Methodist Chapel is a detached brick and slate built building that dates from 1888 and is now offered for sale as a redevelopment opportunity or for continued use as a place of worship. Although a favourable Pre Application response has been given by the planning authority for its conversion to residential use, the property is being sold subject to a Restrictive Covenant in favour of the neighbouring land owner that restricts the use of the building to that described in the paragraphs below. A previous agreement in principle with the neighbouring land owner, for the removal of the covenant and the sale of a small parcel of additional land to provide amenity space to the converted property, has not progressed due to the death of the land owner. Negotiations have not been entered into with the late owners' beneficiaries and the property is now being offered to the market subject to the restrictive covenants.
ADDENDUM
As of the 23rd of August, we have been notified by the beneficiary of the deceased neighbouring landowner, that they are not prepared to enter into negotiations for the release of the covenant or the sale of any land adjoining the property.
LOCATION
Haisthorpe is a small village located on the A614 Driffield to Bridlington Road. Woldgate Chapel fronts directly onto West Back Side and enjoys open views to the front over the neighbouring open countryside.
