A PROJECT to transform a former chapel into a shop and apartments has seen all 16 homes sold off plan.

All of the apartments which form part of the development of Groves Chapel, in Wigginton Road, have been sold to international property investment firm IP Global.

The development is being carried out by York-based S Harrison, which sold the apartments at the rear of the building, while work is ongoing to create a Sainsbury’s in the former chapel.

Construction is being carried out by Broadley, and the foundations are complete for the new build element of the development, which will see 14 two bedroom apartments created. The roof of the chapel has been stripped and a further two apartments will be built within this building.
