Glassary Church, Kilmichael, Lochgilphead, PA31 8QA

A unique opportunity to acquire an attractive stone-built, B-listed church, situated in a charming rural setting on the outskirts of the village of Kilmichael, near Lochgilphead in Argyll.

Internally, the church is impressive, showcasing many traditional features including beautiful stained-glass windows and detailed woodwork. The property currently comprises an entrance vestibule, a storeroom, a sanctuary, and additional office space.

The surrounding churchyard is owned by Argyll and Bute Council. However, the property includes an area of ground to the north of the churchyard wall, which would be suitable for a small garden and/or parking, also offering scope for the construction of a vehicle garage.

The church benefits from a mains electricity supply. Argyll and Bute Council have indicated a willingness, in principle, to grant servitude rights for water and drainage through the churchyard. It will be the purchaser’s responsibility to secure these rights and carry out the necessary works. Mains water is available along the public road, and the purchaser will be required to arrange the connection.

Kilmichael is a quiet village that offers a local pub and restaurant, the Horseshoe Inn, as well as a primary school. It lies approximately five miles from Lochgilphead, which provides a full range of amenities including shops, cafes, pubs, restaurants, hotels, a supermarket, a secondary school, a GP surgery, a community hospital, a dentist, an optician, a vet, and more.

The wider Argyll and Bute region is renowned for its natural beauty and offers extensive opportunities for walking, cycling, water sports, and fishing.

It should be noted that the property is B-listed, however planning permission has been granted for the conversion of the church to residential accommodation, further details of which are available on the Argyll and Bute planning website, using references 23/01367/PP and 23/01369/LIB.
