Development Opportunity – Former Church and Heritage Centre – Isle of Lewis A rare opportunity to acquire an historic former Mission Church in the heart of Shawbost, one of the Isle of Lewis’s most desirable and culturally significant coastal communities. Formerly home to the Shawbost Folk Museum and Heritage Centre, this distinctive Category C Listed building combines character, heritage and outstanding potential for future use, subject to the necessary consents. The property consists of an entrance porch, impressive double-height church hall, former vestry, and an external detached toilet block. Of particular interest is the fact that the adjoining former Missionary’s House, situated immediately beside the church, is also being offered for sale separately. Historically linked to the church and formerly connected by steel beams, the combined acquisition of both properties presents an exceptional opportunity for those seeking to create a substantial gallery, heritage attraction, studio, community facility, commercial venture or mixed residential and business enterprise in one of Lewis’s most sought-after coastal communities. Purchasers seeking to acquire both the former church and the neighbouring Missionary’s House may find particular appeal in the opportunity to develop a substantial business, cultural or tourism venture whilst enjoying on-site residential accommodation.
