Rhyddings Terrace, Brynmill, Swansea

Description

The property comprises a two-storey chapel building and adjoining school room/ community hall, situated within a densely populated residential area along the edge of Swansea city centre.

Internally, the main chapel building comprises the entrance porch located over the northern elevation, which provides access directly onto the main nave, with additional stairwells located either side of the main entrance leading to the mezzanine/balcony area.

The subject premises also accommodates a small school room, which can be accessed independently over the southeast corner of the site. Both the main chapel building and the rear school room also appear to be interconnected by a single storey addition. The school room also extends further to the rear in the form of an additional single storey addition, which accommodates the kitchen and a small office/ vestry room.

The site also benefits from a small outbuilding, which adjoins the rear of the main chapel building, providing external w.c. facilities.

Externally, the subject premises accommodates the majority of the site, with the exception of a small enclosed courtyard area to the front and side elevations. We note that the subject premises does not appear to benefit from any designated on-site parking facilities but we do note that the adequate parking facilities could be readily available if the adjoining timber framed school room was ever demolished (subject to the necessary statutory consents).

The entire site equates to approximately 0.142 acre (0.057 hectare), which is of a regular shape and relatively level.
