Description:

The property comprises a former Pentecostal church measuring approximately 561 s.qm (Gross external area). Planning consent was granted for conversion to form 12 supported living self-contained apartments in August 2023. An additional planning consent was granted in 2021 for change of use from a place of worship to a residential dwelling.

The property may have potential for alternative uses, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

Location:

The former Pentecostal Church on The Avenue, ST7 1AL is situated within a predominantly residential area of Kidsgrove, Staffordshire, characterised by a mix of traditional terraced and semi-detached housing with local commercial uses nearby. The property benefits from convenient access to a range of day-to-day amenities within Kidsgrove town centre, including supermarkets, independent retailers and leisure facilities, while more extensive shopping and services are available in the nearby towns of Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke-on-Trent. In terms of transport connectivity, the location is well placed for road travel, lying close to the A50 and A500 dual carriageways which provide onward links to the M6 motorway (Junctions 15 and 16). Rail services are accessible via Kidsgrove railway station, located approximately 1 mile away, offering regular connections to Stoke-on-Trent, Crewe and Manchester, supporting both commuter and regional travel.
