Coach house - Poole, Dorset


Former coach house within walled garden. A big job but in the right hands it'll deliver a stunning, large detached home with vaulted ceilings and period features. The Coach House, at Organford, close to Poole's fabulous beaches, is a two-storey former coach house within a walled courtyard.
It's one of three properties for sale in the former grounds of Organford Manor - the adjoining lot is a derelict barn in a large plot, with a guide price of £75,000.
The coach house needs everything doing to it to make it habitable, but you get to start with a blank canvas - assuming, that is, that you get planning permission.
It's up for auction on May 30th, through Symonds and Sampson with aguide price of £275,000.

Chapel - North Yorkshire


Former chapel for sale with planning consent. New Houses Chapel is set within the Summerstone Estate in beautiful Nidderdale, close to the village of Lofthouse. This detached former chapel offers great potential for a stunning country home.

The property is for sale by auction at a guide price of £125,000, through Dacres, Son & Hartley, to be held at Pateley Bridge Memorial Hall, on Wednesday 11th June 2008 at 2.30pm.

Chapel - Winkleigh, Devon


Former chapel converted into two cottages. This former Plymouth Bretheren Chapel is in need of total renovation to bring it back to life. The chapel was converted into two cottages around 1900 and a new roof and re-wiring was done around 7/8 years ago - but not a lot done since then.
It has a range of outbuildings and a decent size combined garden - including headstones (and presumably the graves) of seven departed bretheren!
It's in a quiet village setting, in Dolton, about six miles from Winkleigh' close to Torrington.
The current layout is a two/three-bedroomed cottage and a one-bedroomed cottage.
It's for sale by auction, by Webbers, on June 6, 2008, at 3.00pm at The Black Hose Inn, Torrington, Devon, with a guide price of £150-175,000.
