Description

This property presents a rare chance to acquire a former church and adjacent stone structure situated in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Nestled within a tranquil setting, the site spans approximately 0.42 acres and is just a brief walk from the picturesque Torrisdale Bay, as well as the local harbor bustling with activity. The property is conveniently located about two miles from the famed NC500 route, making it an appealing option for both residents and potential visitors. The site features open countryside views that add to its serene ambiance, offering considerable flexibility for various uses including residential, commercial, or mixed-use developments—subject to acquiring the necessary planning permissions. Notably, this church is not listed, allowing for more freedom in renovation and redevelopment efforts. Although there is currently a war memorial on the premises, plans are underway to relocate it, further opening up possibilities for future projects. This property could be transformed into a secluded Highland retreat or developed into a business hub catering to nature enthusiasts, anglers, walkers, and beachgoers alike. Its prime location provides an ideal backdrop for creating a distinctive space that embraces both natural beauty and community engagement. A visit is essential to grasp the full extent of its potential and appreciate the unique characteristics of this remarkable site.
