The former Church of St Leonard is a Grade II* Listed Church of character, which is offered for sale with full planning permission and approvals for conversion into a stunning 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom 1,884 sq ft home. Uniquely for such properties, St Leonards has direct vehicular access from Main Street, off street parking and private amenity land. The property underwent a significant programme of maintenance in 2008 & 11 and is in good condition.
Full details of the approved design, planning and listed building consent can be found on the Bassetlaw District Council planning portal, under application no. 22/00453/FUL. Once implemented, the approved scheme will deliver an imaginative home, respectful of its heritage, enhancing the architectural features of the church but equally providing contemporary accents to substantial open plan living space. The architect, Hugh Massey (0191 300 6885), is available for consultation with potential buyers, and discussions on taking the project through to full conversion.
The property nestles within the hamlet of Ragnall, lying on the south side of the A57. This means the property is connected to an excellent road network with the A1 lying to the west from which the wider motorway network is available. Both Retford and Newark have direct rail services into London Kings Cross (from Newark approx. 1hr 20 mins). The cathedral city of Lincoln lies within comfortable driving distance over the River Trent. The property also lies within the catchment area of Tuxford Academy, an Ofsted Outstanding school and 6th form, with a primary school and local amenities within a 20-minute walk.
It is highly unusual for a redundant church of manageable size, with access, parking, garden land and planning approval to come to the market. The hard work has already been done, and St Leonards represents a unique lifestyle and investment opportunity that is very rarely available.
