Ever fancied owning a church? Well your luck could be in with a Grade II listed church in Dorset soon to hit the market.

The Old Church of St James, close to Corfe Castle, is up for grabs with a guide price of £475,000 at a virtual auction held next month.

The Grade II listed converted church, built in 1833, has an internal space of 2,787 sq. ft and is arranged as a 4-bedroom, 2 bathroom detached house and sits in a plot of approximately 0.45 acres.

It does require some repairs however the auctioneer’s estimate when the works are complete, the property would have an end value far in excess of £1 million.

Richard Worrall, Network Auctions’ auctioneer, said, ‘This is a fantastic opportunity to make the property into a unique family home of character and style in this truly stunning location.

“The elevated position means there are superb views of Corfe Castle, Poole Harbour and the surrounding countryside from both the grounds and within the property.’
