A DISUSED chapel has come on the market in Gwent, offering a chance to own a building with a unique character and potential.

Grieg Chapel, near the village of Grosmont, has "quintessential 19th-century chapel character" and sits at the heart of the Monmouthshire countryside, with sweeping views of the surrounding hills and farmland.

The "rural and scenic" location is perfect for buyers looking to enjoy the outdoors, explore the local countryside, and enjoy a peaceful pace of life.

The sale is being managed by McCartneys LLP of Hay-on-Wye, and the property is a freehold tenure with vacant possession.

Grieg Chapel boasts "stunning scenery" and is an "ideal base for sightseers, walkers, cyclists, nature lovers and photographers".

The chapel's furnishings would not be included in any sale.

There have been no previous attempts to apply for alternative uses of the chapel, and any potential for converting the property would have to be arranged separately.

Prospective buyers should make their own independent enquiries to the local planning authority if they have such plans.

Grieg Chapel comes with a 0.1-acre plot of land separated from an adjacent burial ground, which remains in use and is not part of the property being sold.

An attached outbuilding offers "a potentially useful footprint extension to the main building".
