Description

Offered at auction, the former Holy Family Parish site in Port Glasgow comprises a church, adjoining residential block and separate community hall set within approximately 2.8 acres. The elevated site has open views towards the River Clyde and is close to local amenities and public transport, including Woodhall railway station. The church is associated with the architectural practice Gillespie, Kidd & Coia and features distinctive brickwork and a prominent tower. The adjoining block provides additional accommodation, while the detached hall includes a large main space, kitchen facilities and extensive toilet accommodation. The listing states that the residential block has eight bedrooms. The buildings and grounds may suit refurbishment, conversion or redevelopment, subject to planning permission and all other required consents. No planning permissions or building warrants for proposed works have been applied for. Any proposals may also require listed building consent and approval from Historic Environment Scotland, as applicable.

49out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £160,000, this is a distinctive, large-scale site rather than a conventional house project: the former church, separate hall and residential block sit across around 2.8 acres, with maintained grounds and views towards the Clyde. The church’s striking brickwork, tower and extensive glazing give the complex real character, while the institutional interiors offer scope to explore refurbishment or conversion, subject to the necessary consents. The floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. Limited photo coverage makes the renovation assessment further provisional.

The overall score is low, with renovation economics difficult to assess from the available information and the project’s potential dependent on consent and the condition of the buildings, services and roof coverings. This is an unusual opportunity for a buyer equipped to investigate and shape a site-wide proposal, rather than a straightforward domestic renovation.

Key opportunities

  • Explore a coordinated refurbishment, conversion or redevelopment proposal across the church, residential block and separate hall, subject to necessary consents.
  • The church’s distinctive brickwork, tower and extensive glazing provide a strong architectural identity to build around.
  • The approximately 2.8-acre site, maintained grounds and elevated Clyde outlook give the wider complex a notable setting.
