Listed church with approved conversion consent — auction sale, strong redevelopment upside.
Approved planning and listed building consent for 2-bed conversion (ref APP/2022/1619)
A rare chance to convert a listed parish church in Leslie, Insch, with approved planning and listed building consent (ref: APP/2022/1619) to form a 2-bedroom dwelling. The stone building offers large, high-ceilinged spaces and a sizeable churchyard, ideal for creating a striking, characterful home or a rental with strong curb appeal.
The property is being sold at auction and offered at a substantial discount to encourage sale—good potential upside for a buyer prepared to manage renovation and listed-building constraints. Essential building works and sensitive restoration will be required to complete the conversion and make the property habitable.
Important practical facts: the site is in a remoter, rural community with no mobile signal but fast broadband; the local area shows high deprivation. Listed status brings protection and extra consent requirements which can limit alterations and increase specialist costs. The auction sale and unknown tenure add transactional considerations for purchase planning.
