A one-of-a-kind renovated kirk that dates back to the reign of Charles I has become available on the capital market. Littered with period features, the seven-bed home contains stained glass windows as well as a family dining table constructed with pews.
The property, which is situated in the heart of South Queensferry, is bursting with personality, as each room has its own intimate charm with quirks found throughout the 2,917 sq ft old church. While the historic Vennel Kirk retains much of its original character, the space has been designed to accommodate modern family living.
Savills, who are advertising the listing, described it as: “The Vennel Kirk is a remarkable and highly distinctive former church dating back to 1633, thoughtfully converted to create an exceptional private residence of considerable character and scale. Extending to approximately 2,917 sq ft, the accommodation is arranged over two levels and centred around dramatic double-height living spaces, complemented by a gallery-style sitting room and exposed structural beams.
“The property combines striking period features, including arched windows and stone detailing, with contemporary finishes, creating a unique and atmospheric home. There is excellent flexibility of accommodation with multiple reception areas, up to seven bedrooms including an impressive principal suite with en suite facilities, and well-appointed kitchen and utility spaces ideal for modern family living and entertaining.
“Set within the historic heart of South Queensferry, the property enjoys a superb waterfront setting close to local amenities, coastal walks and with convenient access to Edinburgh city centre and the central belt.”
