Description

A Unique Redevelopment Opportunity (STP) to Acquire a Grade II Listed Former Cemetery Chapel

An ornate pair of former cemetery chapels dating from circa 1875, occupying a site of approximately 421 sq m (504 sq yds). Constructed in rock-faced and ashlar sandstone beneath graduated Welsh slate roofs, the buildings feature an attractive Gothic Revival design, including a central tower and spire, pointed archway and decorative tracery windows.

The property is situated approximately half a mile east of Otley town centre, a sought-after market town offering a range of amenities including supermarkets, restaurants, bars, sports clubs and community facilities. The location benefits from strong transport links via access to the A659 (Cross Green) which provides links to Otley town centre and the wider regional road network, including the A660 and the A1(M) at Junction 45.

The property benefits from access rights over the adjoining land, providing access via the main cemetery entrance on Cross Green. Offered **long leasehold with vacant possession**, this is a unique opportunity with potential for redevelopment or alternative uses, subject to the necessary consents.

Site Area

Approximately 421 sq m (504 sq yds)
