Historic listed Scottish church building's price slashed again after failing to sell

A FORMER church in Aberdeen has had its price slashed again after failing to sell.  

The historic building was formerly the Rosemount Parish Church.

It is now named The Father’s House after it was transformed into an event space with a cafe. 

The C-listed Gothic-style church was renovated to also include meeting rooms, letting rooms, and a function hall that can hold up to 300 people. It is described as ideal for weddings, birthdays, and conferences. 

There are also 17 en suite living rooms, with a mix of singles and double beds, spread amongst the two floors as well as a lounge and dining room along with a private carpark at the side of the property. 

The building also housed the Aberdeen North Foodbank for two years until September 2024 which was run by the Christ Apostolic Church House of Prayer.

Situated in Caroline Place, The Father’s House is in a well-connected location in the Granite City, but has failed to sell.  

The Father’s House was listed for sale in August 2022, with a guide price of £1.1 million. 

However, more than two and a half years later, the property remains unsold.

A massive £400,000 was then slashed from the price, bringing the guide price to £700,000 and has since been cut once again to £650,000. 

Simon Watson, business agent at Christie & Co, who is managing the sale, said: “The business is currently vacant and provides an excellent opportunity for an incoming operator or developer.”
