A LANDMARK piece of St Helens' heritage has been placed on the market.

The former Nutgrove Methodist Church, on Nutgrove Road is up for sale with an asking price of £295,000.

The historic building, which dates back to the 19th century, has been listed on property website Rightmove.

Offering 5,385 sq ft of internal space, equating to £54.78 per sq ft, the property represents an opportunity for commercial redevelopment.

A description of the property states that, dating back to 1883, the substantial former Wesleyan Chapel stands out for its architectural character, boasting traditional brick construction, decorative stonework, a pillared portico, and a distinctive multi‑pitched slate roof.

Inside, the building retains much of its period charm, including timber‑framed windows, original doors, and a feature ceiling over the main worship hall.

The layout includes an entrance lobby, dual staircases leading to a first‑floor seating gallery, a spacious main hall, kitchen facilities, a meeting hall, vestry, and multiple office or storage rooms.

All mains utilities, including water, electricity, gas, and drainage, are supplied, and the property benefits from a gas‑fired central heating system.

Set on a broadly rectangular plot, the church occupies a central position toward the northern boundary, surrounded by lawns and a flagged footpath.

There is secure, gated access from Nutgrove Road, with neighbouring residential properties to both the east and west side.

The building has also been added to the Local Heritage List, highlighting its historical significance.

The former Nutgrove Methodist Church is being marketed by Manchester-based commercial agents Roger Hannah Ltd.
