Fordingbridge Methodist Church was built in the 1800's and further extended in the following centuries. It is constructed of brick with rendered elevations, under a pitched tiled roof.

The property sits in its own private site and is not individually listed.

Final religious services took place in July 2023 and there are now no gravestones or memorials within the grounds.

As stated, the building is not individually listed. The present use is within D1 of the Use Classes Order as a place of worship. This would permit other community uses, including clinics, surgeries, crèches, day nurseries and consulting rooms.

Alternatively, the property could be converted to a fantastic individual dwelling, having over 2,700 sq. ft. of floor space, subject to planning permission. Interested parties should address specific enquiries to the local planning authority, New Forest District Council.

Outside
The property sits in the corner of its own grounds, with direct river frontage to the River Allen on one side, with an area to the front protected by a low wall and railings and ornate cast iron gates. The majority of the land is too one side, and is currently what used to be a car parking area, but could now just as easily become garden and space for parking.

Situation
Fordingbridge is a small market town which has a post office, a number of banks and a variety of other shops and a supermarket. Shopping centres and a wider range of amenities are available a short drive away in the cathedral city of Salisbury to the north and Bournemouth to the south. As well as the leisure opportunities in the New Forest National Park, the property benefits from easy access to Poole, Christchurch and the Solent ports for sailing and water sports. There are numerous good schools nearby including the prep school Forres Sandle Manor and Moyles Court. An excellent range of schools in both the public and private sector are located nearby in Salisbury. The property is also very well placed for commuting to the business centres in Salisbury, Southampton and Bournemouth, all with good train services to London Waterloo (Soton Parkway 68 minutes).
