Three United Free churches are set to go to auction next month with a combined guide price of more than £260,000.
The churches are in Shawlands on the southside of Glasgow, the coastal village of Boddam, south of Peterhead, and Gorebridge, Midlothian. All are said to have potential for residential conversion.
The Shawlands church occupies a prominent position on the corner of Millwood Road at its junction with Deanston Drive, just 2.5 miles south of the city centre.
The single storey detached church provides two open plan halls; one formerly used for services and the other for a range of various activities. To the rear are various cellular offices and kitchen facilities. The property surrounds a central courtyard providing access to a cellar.
The Boddam church, situated on Church Place between Manse Terrace and New Street, provides an open plan hall currently fitted out with pews and a podium for holding services. To the rear of the hall is a separate room for further services and activities, plus a kitchen area.
All elevations of the property look to outdoor green space enclosed by a stone wall around the perimeter. Free on street parking is available within the vicinity.
The Gorebridge church is situated on the west side of Hunterfield Road, a predominately residential location within Gorebridge.
The church is set within a large rectangular site with extensive parking immediately adjacent. The accommodation comprises an entrance foyer leading to the church hall, which is open plan, and a kitchen/tea preparation area.
The churches are set to go under the hammer at the next Shepherd commercial property auction on December 7 with guide prices of £160,000 for Shawlands, £80,000 for Gorebridge and £28,000 for Boddam.
“All three sites would be suitable for a potential development or residential conversion," said Calvin Molinari of Shepherd's Glasgow office.
"As such, we anticipate keen interest in each opportunity. Interested parties should make their own enquiries to the local planning authority.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
