The property is part converted and requires completion.
The substantial former Sunday School is of stone construction under a slate roof and has planning permission approved for conversion into a dwelling and studio under application PA98H0039/F which has a material start. This permission was amended in July 2004 to provide for a dwelling only under application PA98/H0039/AMD1.
The property is accessed over an unmade lane past the Carnkie Methodist Church with a gated entrance and low stone wall leading into a courtyard to the front of the school and the trap house. The courtyard contains the new sewage treatment system.
The original planning permission provides for sympathetic conversion with accommodation briefly comprising entrance porch, ground floor bedroom and cloakroom/wc with the main hall used for the open plan kitchen, living and dining room area with a spiral staircase leading to a mezzanine floor second bedroom, bathroom and dressing room.
Various works have been carried out including new windows, electrics, water connected etc. The property is however only partly renovated and requires completion.
A side door leads in to the Trap House (23'7'' reducing to 20'4'' x 14'3'') which is dual aspect room with wood frame double glazed windows to the front and rear, water and electricity connected, door to the cloakroom/wc in the main Sunday School.
A feature pair of double wooden doors with opaque glass lead into the main Sunday School (32' x 19'9''), wooden floor throughout, two tall, elegant feature windows on either side, electric panel consumer unit by door. Three RSJ's in situ for the Mezzanine Floor (20' x 19'9'') divided into three areas, Bedroom (19'9'' x 12'), Bathroom (10' x 7') and Dressing Room (9' x 7'). The ceiling is currently open with exposed timbers.
Overall, the conversion of this historic Sunday School will provide unique and character, spacious two bedroomed accommodation with many pleasing features and a lovely open living area.

†Traditional auction
Exchange occurs at the end of the auction. This means that if the reserve is met or exceeded and the auction timer reaches zero, the successful bidder is legally obliged to pay the purchase price and the seller will be legally obliged to sell the property. To ensure that the successful bidder proceeds, the buyer is automatically charged a holding deposit, which is held in a secure client account, pursuant to the terms of a holding deposit agreement.
* Pricing Information
The Guide Price amount specified is an indication of each seller's minimum expectation. It is not necessarily the amount at which the property will sell. Each property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the property will not be sold) which we expect will be set no more than 10% above the Guide Price amount.
