Description

*UNIQUE FORMER CHURCH OPPORTUNITY FOR SALE*

An exciting opportunity to acquire Hillside Organ Works, a distinctive commercial building on Carrhill Road, Mossley, offering excellent scope to either maintain as commercial workshop premises, or for conversion to residential use.

The property offers a unique space and character that appeals to potential conversion buyers and commercial occupiers alike.

The generous floor areas, high ceiling heights and robust construction lends itself to loft-style apartments or a number of individual homes.

The building sits within an established residential area, so a change to housing could sit naturally alongside its neighbours. This is a rare chance to create something with individuality in a sought-after setting. Any conversion would be subject to planning permission and building regulations approval, and interested parties should make their own enquiries with Tameside Council.

Mossley is a popular Pennine town in Greater Manchester. Mossley train station is within walking distance for connections to Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool and Sheffield directly.

There are many local shops and amenities, and quick access to the Peak District National Park and surrounding moorland. Greenfield and Uppermill villages are also within walking distance which provide nightlife, amenities, cafes and restaurants.
