Summary - Former Church Premises, High Street, Rothes AB38 7AU AB38 7AU
1 bed 1 bath Commercial Property
Large period building with high ceilings and conversion potential.
Prominent High Street frontage with direct pavement access
A striking Gothic Revival former church on Rothes High Street, this substantial property offers 316 m² (approximately 3,401 sq ft) of flexible internal space and a commanding street-front presence. High ceilings, stained-glass windows, a raised stage and gallery retain strong period character and create a distinctive setting suited to creative, retail or community uses.
The building’s open-plan main area and ancillary storerooms make immediate use possible for exhibitions, showroom, events or office space, while the generous volume and structural character present clear conversion potential for bespoke residential or mixed-use schemes, subject to planning. Excellent mobile signal and central location support commercial activity despite average broadband speeds.
Buyers should factor in material considerations: there is no external land or parking, tenure is unconfirmed, and a change of use will require planning consents and likely substantial refurbishment works. The property sits in a very deprived local area which may affect tenant demand and rental values, but this also contributes to a lower asking price that can appeal to buyers seeking value-add opportunities.
For an investor or developer comfortable with heritage conversions, this former church presents a rare, low-price entry to Speyside’s High Street market. The building’s prominence, scale and period features are strong value drivers for a creative reuse that leverages Rothes’ tourism and local services.
