Lindale, St Paul
The building
Once the ‘beating heart’ of the village this beautiful, Grade II listed Lake District Church (built in 1828) is very sadly now closed, in need of repair and a new lease of life. This does present a very exciting and unique opportunity for those imaginative buyers looking for a rewarding and unusual project. This historic building boasts a wealth of stunning period features, including beautiful stained glass windows, ornate wooden fretwork (some to be removed) and intricate stonework. There is real potential (subject to relevant consents) that this magnificent and peaceful building could potentially become (with lots of determination and vision) an enviable, charming and unique home. Perhaps some sort of community hub? There are certainly many possibilities. Whatever is decided it is a chance to preserve a very special piece of local history while enhancing its value through thoughtful restoration. Expressions of interest should be made direct to the Agent and include details of; the proposed use, financial offer, details of any proposed alterations to the building and proof of funds for the purchase and any necessary works to the building to facilitate the proposed use.

How a group buys it
- A reader enters a pledge: a name and an amount, recorded on this page. It is a declaration of intent, not a payment. Nothing is charged, and a pledge may be withdrawn on request.
- When the pledges against the building cover the asking price, together with a reserve for closing costs, title, survey and the first year of upkeep, the page closes and the pledgers are introduced to one another.
- The group settles its legal form: a nonprofit, a co-operative, a land trust, or a single buyer collecting donations. An attorney drafts the instrument, and a title company or solicitor holds the funds in escrow.
- The purchase completes, and the group decides the building's use: worship, a hall, a school, housing, or simple preservation. The deed records the arrangement.
