Own a church for £50,000, but there's a catch.

Have you ever dreamed of owning a remote, detached church and turning it into your dream home? Well, now is your chance! This stunning church, located in the quaint village of Ardfern in Argyll, Scotland, is on the market for just £50,000.

To put this into perspective, that's about the same price as a 10% deposit on a semi-detached house in London. However, there is a slight catch. While the estate agents have mentioned the possibility of converting the church into a cinema or museum, there is no guarantee that the Church of Scotland will allow it to be turned into a private residence. They have said it is a possibility, so don't lose hope just yet.

But let's talk about the amazing features of this property. Sitting on an acre of land, this church offers breathtaking views of Loch Craignish and is surrounded by lush greenery and woodland. Inside, you will find rows of pews and a beautiful altar, as well as a fully intact choir loft with wooden benches.

The church also comes with a small vestry, a room typically used as an office or for priests to change into ceremonial clothing. In total, the property measures 2659 square feet and is listed as a B-listed property, meaning it is a traditional and historically significant building.

Of course, as with any renovation project, this church will require some TLC and a complete makeover. But with a little imagination and hard work, it has the potential to be a truly special and unique home.

And let's not forget about the location. Argyll, also known as Scotland's "adventure coast," offers plenty of outdoor activities such as sailing, windsurfing, and hiking. It is also home to some of the best hotels in the UK, making it the perfect spot for a staycation. The nearby Pierhouse Port Appin, situated on the shores of Loch Linnhe, is a popular choice for visitors to the area.

If you're interested in purchasing this property, you'll have to act fast. It is being sold by the Church of Scotland and is listed on Rightmove, but offers must be made by Tuesday, January 23 at noon. According to the listing, the church has the potential to be used for a variety of purposes, including a crèche, day nursery, or even a theatre or cinema, with the appropriate consents.

So, are you ready to take on the challenge of transforming this church into your dream home? With its stunning location and historic charm, it's an opportunity that shouldn't be missed. And who knows, with a little DIY, you could potentially add £175,000 to the property's value. Now that's a Grand Design dream worth pursuing.
