This substantial former church and hall offers 11,174 sq ft of adaptable internal space on a large corner plot in Paisley, offered at £120,000. The main sanctuary and adjoining hall provide high ceilings, a raised stage, tall windows and generous external grounds — features that suit community uses, events, or redevelopment. The plot is explicitly identified as suitable for social housing development, and a range of community and educational uses are permitted without change of use consent.
The buildings are connected to mains water, gas and electricity, and benefit from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Good road links to the M8 and proximity to Paisley town centre and Glasgow airport support commercial or housing redevelopment potential. Multiple permitted uses include crèche, day nursery, educational facilities, museum or public library; other uses such as theatre, cinema or retail may be achievable with consents.
The property requires substantial refurbishment and modernisation throughout: internal finishes are dated, parquet flooring shows lifting and damage, and ancillary spaces need repair. EPC ratings are D for both buildings. The site sits in a very deprived area with young, hard‑pressed families and hard‑pressed flat dwellers locally — an important consideration for use, funding and tenancy demand.
This is a high‑potential but high‑effort asset. It will suit developers, social housing providers or community organisations prepared to manage refurbishment, obtain required consents, or pursue redevelopment. Buyers must allow for renovation costs, planning timescales and the uncertainties that accompany conversion in a deprived urban area.
