PLANS TO CONVERT CHAPEL INTO FLATS

A PRESBYTERIAN chapel and school house that has stood in Caergwrle for two centuries could be turned into flats if plans are approved by Flintshire County Council.

The plans would see the 216-year-old chapel and school house, which sit next to each other on High Street, fitted with skylights to allow sunlight in through both roofs.

Inside the ground floor ceilings would be lowered in both buildings to allow the creation of duplex, or two-level, flats.

In terms of layout eight flats would have ground-floor bedrooms and bathrooms with living rooms and kitchens on the first floor.

One apartment would have an upstairs bedroom and downstairs living area.

The chapel and schoolhouse were originally built in 1809, with the chapel extended in 1845 as the congregation grew.
