The historic church in the heart of Hoyland has gone on the market for offers in the region of £150,000 - offering buyers the chance to take on a striking Victorian landmark with more than 130 years of history.
The former church was constructed between 1889 and 1890, after its foundation stone was laid in April 1889.
Building work was completed the following year by Barnsley-based builder John Hague.
Designed in the Gothic style and built using traditional methods typical of the period, the property is formed of dressed stone and with an imposing, but elegant exterior.
Inside, the building centres around a large open-plan worship space, with generous space that offers potential for a range of alternative uses, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
Kitchen and amenity facilities are already in place, while two single-storey extensions to the rear add further flexibility.
The site also includes both hard and soft landscaped areas to the front, sides and rear, giving the building a defined setting within its plot.
Over the decades, the church has seen a number of changes.
In the 1920s, stained glass windows were installed in memory of the 33 men from Hoyland who lost their lives in the First World War, adding a layer of local and historical significance.
Further additions were made over time, and the original coal-fired heating system was eventually replaced with gas.
Now, this former place of worship presents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful period building in a prominent Hoyland location - combining architectural heritage with scope for its next chapter.
