Listed Gothic Revival church with consent for a 2-bed conversion, auction guide £85,000..
Approved planning and listed building consent for 2-bed conversion (APP/2022/1619)
A rare historic conversion opportunity in Leslie Parish Church with approved planning and listed building consent (APP/2022/1619) to form a two-bedroom dwelling. The stone Gothic Revival church sits within its graveyard setting and is being offered freehold at an auction guide price of £85,000. The sale presents clear upside for a buyer able to manage a listed conversion.
The site benefits from fast broadband, no flood risk and nearby village amenities in Insch, while offering countryside character and seclusion. Planning approval covers change of use and alterations; see Aberdeenshire Council reference APP/2022/1619 for full details. The property will be sold at auction and suits a purchaser comfortable with the auction process and immediate purchase requirements.
Buyers should note significant practical considerations: the building has listed status which restricts works and may increase costs; roof restoration is required; there is no mobile signal on site; and the location scores as a very deprived area locally. This is best for an investor, developer, or experienced owner-occupier seeking a distinctive restored home with period character and realistic budgets for specialist conservation work.
