The property comprises a place of worship situated within a substantial size
plot, within the semi - rural location of Glynneath, which we have assumed was
constructed during early 1800’s and extended further to the side at a later
date.
Internally, the main chapel comprises the entrance porch located over the
eastern elevation, which provides access directly onto the naïve. The main
chapel also benefits from a mezzanine area, which accommodates a viewing
balcony to three sides of the main elevations. The subject premises also
extends further to the side elevation in the form of an annex building, which
can also be accessed off the main entrance foyer, comprising a small vestry
area and the kitchen.
Externally, the subject premises is located within a plot, which is generally
sloping in nature, appearing to be denoted by retaining stone walls in the
majority and a small gated entrance over the front elevation. Based on its
current layout we note that no designated on - site parking facilities are
available but we do advise that adequate on street parking is available within
close proximity to the subject premises.
In addition, we also advise that the site forms part of a large cemetery,
accessed independently to the west of the main chapel building, will not form
part of the demise proposed to be sold. A number of gravestones are also
located within the front courtyard, over the main entrance to the chapel
building. Please be advised that the proposed sale will also be subject to the
necessary restrictive covenants to allow visiting members of the public access
to these gravestones.
The main chapel building, adjoining vestry and small courtyard is situated
within a site area of approximately 0. 182 acre (0. 074 hectare).
