Former Ardeer Parish Church, Shore Road, Stevenston, North Ayrshire, KA20 3LA

Step inside a piece of Scottish heritage and imagine the possibilities.

This is not just a building-it's a landmark. Dating back to the 1890s, this striking red sandstone Gothic-style former church and hall complex stands proudly on a prominent corner in the sought-after coastal town of Stevenston, North Ayrshire.

Designed by renowned architect Hippolyte Blanc and built using sandstone from the famed Ballochmyle Quarry, it offers both architectural significance and undeniable visual impact.

Extending to an impressive 6,072 sqft, the property provides a vast and flexible internal layout ready to be reimagined. From the moment you enter the grand sanctuary-with its gallery seating, soaring ceilings, and beautiful arched windows-you're met with a sense of scale and character that simply cannot be replicated in modern construction.

Beyond the main space, the building includes a substantial hall, multiple meeting rooms, a vestry, kitchen facilities, and ample storage, all supported by upgraded WC amenities. Importantly, significant investment has already been made: a new roof (2016), modern kitchen, fully upgraded male, female, and accessible toilets, rewiring, replacement windows, and comprehensive fire alarm and sprinkler systems-much of it supported by Heritage Lottery funding. The heavy lifting has been done, allowing you to focus on bringing your vision to life.

As a Category C Listed building, it offers both charm and opportunity. Whether you envision luxury residential apartments, a boutique wedding and events venue, a theatre or cinema, a vibrant hospitality space, or a community or educational hub, the versatility here is exceptional (subject to the necessary consents).

Fully connected to mains water, gas, electricity, and drainage, the property is ready for its next chapter.

Opportunities like this are rare- a building of this scale, character, and potential, in such a prominent location, doesn't come to market often. This is your chance to transform a historic landmark into something truly extraordinary.

What it is is beautiful but what it could become is amazing.
