Bids as low as £1,000 will be invited for Cleethorpes' fire-damaged Beaconthorpe Methodist Church

                                        

Can a loving new owner be found for once-proud Cleethorpes church?

ONLINE bids as low as £1,000 are to be invited for the fire-ravaged Beaconthorpe Methodist Church which goes up for auction at 1pm tomorrow Monday December 2.

The sale is being handled by Auction House UK which states: "This is a wonderful and rare opportunity to acquire this significant and prominent Grade II Listed former church.

"This site offers huge scope and a wealth of potential, in an excellent location and whilst the property is fire damaged, there is endless opportunity to redevelop and restore the site to one of  prominence."

But if ever there was case of buyer beware, this is it.

Because of its Grade II  Listed status - even as a shell - heritage experts will be keen to insist that the building (as with the ice factory in Grimsby) is not demolished. 

What is more insurance and security costs will  soon rack up.

Bidding is scheduled to close at 1.06pm on Tuesday.

Let's be honest - it needs a bit of work doing to it
