We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Description A landmark building. A rare opportunity. Endless potential. Some properties simply cannot be described in the conventional way - and Patersons Church is certainly one of them.
Standing proudly within the heart of Stonehouse, this magnificent former church is an instantly recognisable landmark, offering extraordinary scale, beautiful original architecture and an exciting opportunity for its next owner to write an entirely new chapter in the building's history.
Behind the imposing traditional stone façade lies a building packed with character.
Soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed timberwork, beautiful stained-glass windows, the dramatic clock tower and vast open spaces combine to create an interior unlike almost anything else available on the market.
Since purchasing the property, the current owner has undertaken a programme of improvements throughout, including the installation of a new heating system together with extensive redecoration and fresh paintwork.
The result is a building that is exceptionally well presented while retaining the architectural features and character that make it so special.
At the heart of the property is the spectacular former main worship hall - an incredible space with tremendous ceiling height, beautiful timber detailing and stained-glass windows.
Beyond this are a variety of additional halls, rooms, gallery areas, kitchen/service accommodation and WC facilities, providing an enormous amount of flexibility. What could it become?
That is perhaps the most exciting part of this opportunity. The sheer scale, layout and character of Patersons Church open the door to a wealth of possibilities.
Subject to obtaining all necessary planning permissions, consents and building warrants, the property could potentially be transformed into a truly spectacular private residence, an exclusive residential development, boutique events or wedding venue, restaurant or hospitality destination, creative or office space, wellbeing facility, or an entirely bespoke development designed around the building's remarkable architecture.
For a private purchaser, there is the potential to create a home unlike anything else in the area.
Imagine contemporary open-plan living beneath the magnificent vaulted ceiling, mezzanine-style accommodation overlooking the principal space and modern finishes carefully introduced alongside the original stained glass, stonework and timber detailing.
Alternatively, developers and investors may wish to explore the potential for residential subdivision or another commercial or mixed-use concept, taking advantage of the substantial accommodation and unique character of the building.
This is not simply an opportunity to purchase a former church.
It is an opportunity to acquire one of Stonehouse's most distinctive buildings and determine what the next chapter of its story could look like.
Whether retained as one remarkable property or completely reimagined for an alternative use, Patersons Church represents an incredibly rare opportunity for developers, investors, entrepreneurs and private purchasers alike.
Quite simply, buildings like this rarely come to the open market. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scale, architecture, character and exceptional potential on offer.
