An impressive former chapel that's in need of urgent refurbishment work has sold at auction. The Old English Calvery Chapel, located on Cliff Terrace in Treforest, Pontypridd has sold for more than twice its guide price and is set to be converted into eight apartments.
The dilapidated Victorian property, which features a three-storey chapel with balcony and traditional church pews, four function rooms and a large basement, will be completely renovated after selling for £161,500 at Paul Fosh Auctions in Newport - more than double it's £80,0000 guide price - as a result of a bidding war between four bidders who tried to outbid each other for the property.
After winning the auction, winning bidder Javid Iqbal applied for planning permission from Rhondda Cynon Taf Council to transform the church chapel into eight flats - and the application has now been approved. For more property news, go here.
