St Peter's Church, Astwood, Newport Pagnell, MK16
Description
The sale of St Peter's Church, Astwood offers a rare opportunity to convert an attractive Grade ll* Listed Church to a residential dwelling or for alternative uses (subject to any necessary planning consents). The church dates back to the 12th century, offers some charming architectural features and is situated on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Astwood on the Buckinghamshire/Bedfordshire border.
St Peter's Church is constructed of stone beneath a combination of tiles and copper roofing, with a stone bell tower and offers 2,039 sq ft of internal space. The building reflects centuries of ecclesiastical heritage incorporating fragments of 12th century stonework and a chancel rebuilt in 1340 using earlier materials. The entire structure was sensitively restored after wartime damage.
Planning Consent and Listed Building Consent were previously granted for the conversion of St Peter's Church into a single dwelling. These consents lapsed in 2024 but provide a precedent and strong indication of support for sympathetic residential conversion.
The Vendor will impose a number of restrictions on the purchaser by way of covenants which will depend on the use for which planning consent is granted. Please refer to the sale brochure available to download.
