St Marks Church is an attractive, substantial building, with a wonderful community history. This is a fabulous opportunity to bring this building into use again by creating 3 unique and spacious apartments. This is an excellent scheme which retains most of the architectural integrity of the building, even though it was built in the 1800’s surprisingly, it is not listed. The development sensitively repurposes and preserves this unique building which has sat in the community for over 200 years.
St Mark’s was built in the late C19 as a congregational church. Typical of much of the Amble Conservation Area, of which it forms a significant part, it is constructed in natural stone and slate with leaded windows. The development provides a wonderful chance to preserve the heritage of this beautiful building, providing residential living that is truly unique and distinctive. The open layouts and expansive interiors offer a canvas for creative, interior design.
The large windows provide plenty of natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. The upper floor to the largest apartment is hoped to provide wonderful views across the town over towards the marina and coastline. The spaciousness of the proposed apartments, offer adaptable spaces, that can cater to various living arrangements. Energy predicted rate B. In current state, EPC energy rated C.
The conversion works would be mainly confined to the interior of the church, however there would be some exterior works, including the introduction of a number of rooflights and works to windows, the insertion of a door into the north east elevation and the removal of part of the boundary wall to facilitate car parking.
Further information on the design scheme and building regulations are available upon request. Further details on the planning permission for this property Application No. 24/00193/FUL accessed via the Northumberland County Council Planning Portal.
