A disused Baptist chapel on Rochdale Road is set to be converted into a Cynergy Wellness Residences’ 133-apartment scheme
The disused Baptist chapel occupies roughly three quarters of the site
A total of 133 homes are proposed in a mix of 1- and 2-bedroom apartments, which would be supported by a range of amenities including a concierge-manned reception, gym, spa and wellness facilities, social areas, co-working space, secure cycle storage and a communal roof terrace.
As an important heritage asset in the area, the façade of the former Baptist chapel fronting Rochdale Road has been carefully integrated into the design to ensure it can be retained and preserved.
The scheme would be located between two hotels. The Hampton by Hilton and a Premier Inn, which is under construction.
The existing chapel would serve as main entrance to the proposed residential development. The façade, which fronts onto Rochdale Road, would be incorporated into the design of the building.
Inside, as much of the chapel has been incorporated into the design as possible. The balustrade and cast-iron columns would be preserved and stand as proud reminders of the chapel’s rich history, blending seamlessly with the modern design elements of the development
