Historic Harrogate church to be auctioned next week
The former St Mary’s church off Cold Bath Road in Harrogate, is to be auctioned next week at a guide price of £415,000.
The grade two listed building is being sold with planning consent for conversion to offices and residential accommodation.
The building, which was built in 1916 in 14th-century English Gothic style and designed by Walter Tapper, ceased to function as a parish church in 2007.
It will feature among 177 other properties and plots of land in the next online live-streamed auction to be held by SDL Property Auctions, part of Eddisons, on December 10.
St Mary's Church
It has been disused for almost two decades but has approval and listed building consent for conversion to a mixed-use development that includes offices and residential use, as well as parking spaces for 13 cars.
Andrew Parker, auctioneer and partner at SDL Property Auctions, said:
This is a great opportunity for an investor or a developer in the sought-after Cold Bath Road area of Harrogate, where the property market is particularly buoyant.
St Mary’s church itself is a beautiful old stone building that is much loved by Harrogate residents, and it would be fantastic to see it get a new lease of life in the hands of an imaginative new owner.
