About this property

    Vendor paying stamp duty (see agents note) This distinctive former chapel in the village of Barnby offers a rare opportunity to acquire a character building with flexible potential. Currently arranged with a large open chapel hall and a separate residential apartment to the rear, the property is generating a monthly rental income and could suit a variety of uses.

    The building retains striking original features, including exposed beams and vaulted ceilings, while also benefiting from modern upgrades, including air-source heating and underfloor heating. With mixed-use consent already in place, the property offers potential to continue as an investment, operate as a commercial space with residential accommodation, or explore full residential use.

    Stepping Inside...

    The original chapel hall forms the centrepiece of the property and immediately showcases the building's character, with vaulted ceilings, exposed timber beams, and large arched windows that allow plenty of natural light.

    A mezzanine level overlooks the main hall, providing additional versatile space that could be used for seating, workspace, or additional accommodation, depending on requirements.

    To the rear of the building is a self-contained residential apartment finished in a modern style. This includes an open-plan kitchen and living area with French doors opening onto the courtyard, along with a spacious double bedroom and contemporary en-suite shower room.

    The property has been significantly upgraded in recent years and benefits from air-source heat pump heating, underfloor heating, and modern insulation, helping to combine character with efficient, modern living.

    The Plot...

    To the front of the building is a gated courtyard-style garden with an EV charging point.

    The rear of the property provides a private enclosed courtyard garden, creating a pleasant outdoor space for the residential accommodation. A large timber shed provides additional storage.

    Investment & Potential...

    The flexible layout and existing mixed-use consent provide a range of possibilities, including:

    • continuing as a commercial/residential property

    • conversion to a full residential home

    • live/work accommodation

    • studio, gallery or event space

    Barnby is a well-regarded Suffolk village located just outside the market town of Beccles and within easy reach of Lowestoft. The area offers easy access to the Suffolk coastline, the Norfolk & Suffolk Broads and the city of Norwich, making it a convenient yet peaceful location.
