5 of the best: Tayside and Fife churches for sale

Believer or not, churches are wonderful buildings and beautiful examples of architecture.

We pick five of the best for sale in Tayside and Fife.

Dundee

An enormous edifice near the top of the Law Hill, St David’s Church is a Dundee landmark.

The beautiful building on Kinghorne Road sits on a half acre plot and enjoys outstanding views over the Tay.

With its congregation having dwindled over the years, the Church of Scotland has decided now is the time to sell the building.

Stretching to more than 1,000 square metres, St David’s is surely too big to be a single dwelling. It could be divided into flats or made into a fantastic commercial space.

With a price tag of o/o £110,000 it’s an incredible steal. You’ll need many times that sum to convert it however.

Brechin

Towering into the sky, the Old Church is one of Brechin’s most prominent and impressive landmarks.

The A listed church has had various uses since its life as a place of worship ended. Previously it had approval granted to be turned into a restaurant and pool hall.

With almost limitless potential and a price tag of o/o £70,000 it’s no wonder a closing date of September 2 has been set.

Strathkinness Church

Three miles from St Andrews, Strathkinness is one of Fife’s most popular village. Now its charming parish church has gone on the market.

Built in 1864 the church has a large hall with balcony above and beautiful stained glass windows.

At 219sqm it’s the perfect size to be converted into a magnificent family home, subject to gaining planning consent.

Given its popular location and an o/o £80,000 price, it’s little wonder Strathkinnes Church has also had a closing date set – this time for September 12.

Kirkton of Menmuir

A few miles from Brechin, Kirkton of Menmuir is a lovely hamlet in the heart of the Angus countryside.

This C listed former parish church has planning permission for conversion into a four bedroom house.

While it needs a lot of work, its current owners have installed solar panels as part of a programme of works.

It’s on sale for o/o £90,000.

Blairingone Church

Close to the Forth Coast and within easy commuting distance of Edinburgh, Blairingone Church is a fantastic conversion.

Spread over three levels, it features four bedrooms and four bathrooms. While the conversion works are modern it has retained plenty of its original features.

A particular features is the oak staircase, which has been designed to make the most of the beautiful original stained glass windows.

Blairingone Church is on sale for o/o £450,000.
