A former chapel in south Wales has been listed for auction with a guide price of just £7,000, offering a potential conversion opportunity.
The Calvinist Methodist Bethel Chapel in New Tredegar, dating back to 1860, is being brought to market by Paul Fosh Auctions.
The property retains a range of original features, including pews, a pulpit gallery and decorative balustrades, with the interior largely unchanged since it was last used for worship.
Located on Ruperra Street, the building sits within the village of New Tredegar, with access to nearby towns including Bargoed and Blackwood, as well as the A465 Heads of the Valleys road.
GROWING DEMAND
The sale highlights continued demand for alternative property types, particularly those with potential for residential conversion, subject to planning consent.
Auction sales remain a key route for properties requiring redevelopment or repositioning, attracting buyers seeking value-add opportunities.
Sean Roper, of Paul Fosh Auctions, says: “The former church is crammed with a host of original features.
“The auction sale offers someone with vision an ideal opportunity to perhaps convert to a residential home or community use, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.”
The property is being sold with vacant possession and will feature in an online auction running from 19 May to 21 May.
