Description
A fantastic opportunity to acquire a church premises and detached cottage in the heart of Edinburgh.
Internally, the church building comprises an entrance vestibule with a small vestry, leading through to the impressive main worship space at ground floor level, with a
mezzanine gallery seating area above.
The lower ground floor provides extensive ancillary accommodation, including two church hall areas, office space, storage rooms, excellent kitchen facilities, ladies' and
gents' WC facilities, and a boiler room.
The detached cottage offers comfortable residential accommodation comprising an entrance hall, living room with adjoining kitchen, three bedrooms, and a bathroom.
Externally, both properties benefit from their own private garden grounds.
Offers are invited for the church premises and cottage - either together or as separate lots. The proposed split is shown on the plan on page 3 of the brochure, which shows the extent
of land included for each property as well as the route for access to the cottage from Royal Terrace.
Services
The church building and cottage are both connected to mains supplies of water, gas and electricity. Drainage goes into the main public sewer.
Planning
The properties are A-listed in a Conservation Area. The church building could be used, without the necessity of obtaining change of use consent, as the location for a
crèche, day nursery, day centre, educational establishment, museum, art gallery or public library. It also has potential for a variety of other uses, such as a theatre,
cinema or entertainment venue, retail space or community resource subject to obtaining appropriate consents. Conversion to residential accommodation would also be
possible, again subject to the usual consents.
