The former Bethel Mission Church on Hagley Road went up for sale for £250,000 more than a year ago after being sued as a community centre following its closure as a church in 2015.

The church is set on Hagley Road, around half-a-mile from Halesowen town centre, and is being marketed by agent Bloore King and Kavanagh, who have described it as an excellent purchase for a keen investor or business owner looking to expand.

The sales and lettings business said the freehold building was a "fantastic and rare opportunity to purchase this freehold building situated in a wonderful location close to Halesowen Town Centre.

"The former Bethel Mission Church currently utilised as a community centre has been a fixture in the locality since it was founded in 1920 and is now available to purchase as a freehold property.

"Standing on a large plot and with approx. 1600 sq/ft the building would make an excellent purchase for a keen investor or business owner looking to expand."

The listing said that the property comprises an entrance hall with ladies and gents toilets, a main hall featuring approximately 700 sq/ft with store room included, a mid kitchen, mid lobby, further lobby to the rear with ladies and gents toilets and another large hall to the rear with approximately 532 sq/ft of space with a further kitchen included within this room.

The property features off road parking to the front and a side access road leads to the expansive grounds to the rear laid largely to lawn where there is a wooden shed and a useful garage to the rear of the property.
