For sale by auction on 29/9/26. Rare development opportunity; grade II* listed building; residential conversion potential bpr Auctions are pleased to offer a rare opportunity to acquire St Mary's Church, West Cliffe Grove, Harrogate; an important Grade II* listed building of more than special architectural and historic interest. The property is currently derelict and presents an exceptional opportunity for an experienced developer, builder or investor to undertake a sympathetic and imaginative conversion of this distinctive historic building. The Grade II* designation is particularly significant. Grade II* is reserved for buildings considered by Historic England to be particularly important buildings of more than special interest. Historic England records St Mary's Church under List Entry 1149482, dating from circa 1916 and designed by architect Walter Tapper. The property has an established planning history, including proposals for conversion to office and residential use, together with associated works. The substantial building offers accommodation over ground and first floors, subject to verification. Given its scale, character and existing planning history, the property provides an exciting opportunity for an experienced developer to explore a residential-led conversion creating a number of high-quality apartments, subject to the necessary planning and listed-building consents.
