THERE is a chance to own a Grade II listed building as a Swansea Valley chapel goes to auction later this month.
Sardis Chapel on Heol Giedd in Ystradgynlais is being sold by Newport-based Paul Fosh Auctions later this month.
The building – which is Grade II listed – was built in 1861 and would be a good conversion project for investors or developers. It currently retains many of the original features from its days as a chapel.
Sean Roper, of Paul Fosh Auctions, said: “This is a golden opportunity for an investor or developer to get their hands on what is a substantial Grade II listed former chapel in the sought-after village of Ystradgynlais.
“The property would be ideal for conversion to residential, either for private or tourism use and may also offer scope for flats, subject to the necessary planning consents.

“The village has a bustling centre with both national and local retailers and a good range of amenities and transport links.
"The Brecon Beacons national park is only a few miles to the north of the village, making it ideal for those with an interest in the outdoors and tourism.
“The church retains many original features including the alter and pews, it has gallery seating around three sides and there is also a wonderful wooden panelled ceiling, large stained-glass windows and an organ with far reaching pipes.
“Currently the building, which is being sold with vacant possession, offers lobby with stairs to each side leading to the balcony and a main congregation area. Outside there is land to front and side which may offer scope for further development subject to necessary planning consents.”
The chapel is listed with a guide price of £68,000+ and will be one of 70 properties auctioned by Paul Fosh Auctions from midday on Tuesday, January 31. The auction will end at 5pm on Thursday, February 2. Visit www.paulfoshauctions.com for more information and the auction.
