Lauder Court was converted into twelve apartments/cottages in 1991 from an impressive Grade II listed Neo-Gothic Methodist church believed to have been built in the mid 19th century. The  Old Vestry is a charming one bedroom   attached cottage with dressed stone elevations under a slate roof. The property is slightly removed from the main body of the building having character and appeal all of its own. The living room enjoys an attractive stone fireplace with multi-fuel stove and doorway leading to a fitted kitchen. Upstairs there is a double bedroom and shower room. There is also the benefit of allocated    parking and a long lease (965 years) with a share of the freehold.
