Historic last Welsh-speaking chapel in Pontypridd goes up for sale

A historic Grade II listed building that allows you to step back in time is now on the market. The Sardis Independent Chapel in Pontypridd was built in 1834 and was the last Welsh-speaking chapel in the area. It is now available for those who have architectural interests and wish to purchase a mid-nineteenth century property for £200,000.

The chapel was originally built in 1834 but rebuilt in 1852, before being modified in 1885. At one point in time, the chapel's pipe organ attracted people from across Rhondda Cynon Taf to celebrate their weddings and became a community hub.

The present chapel's exterior has a simple classical style, featuring mid-nineteenth century rubble stone and a beautifully preserved early twentieth century interior. Inside the main chapel are pews, an ornate ceiling, a side office, ladies and gentlemen's toilets, a vestry with separate access, two store rooms and a kitchen.
