Unique development opportunity

Going under the hammer is this truly unique opportunity to acquire this German Gothic Style built Church in Dundrennan near Kirkcudbright. This historic property was designed by W R Corson and completed in 1865. The Church is access by double storm doors at the base of the clock tower which leads to a hallway with access to the main area of the church (nave) with several original pews still in situ. Above the hallway there is a gallery. The church had an annexe constructed later with a kitchen, toilet and office space. This presents an extraordinary development opportunity to convert in residential or holiday accommodation subject to consent. The current owner had positive discussions with the local authority in regard to developing the property for the above end use. This will inevitably attract significant levels of interest and early expression of interest is highly recommended.
