Location
The property is located to the north-east of Beechwood Road, at it’s junction with North Carbrain Road and a short distance south of Cumbernauld town centre. Cumbernauld forms one of Scotland’s ‘new towns’, has a population of approximately 50,000 and is located around 15 miles to the north-east of Glasgow City Centre. The town is reasonably well connected in terms of road infrastructure, being formed adjacent to the M80 motorway which in turn connects to the M8 and M73/M74.
The surrounding area is characterised by a mix of local authority and private residential housing, whilst a short distance away is the Antonine shopping centre which comprises the main shopping area within the town.
Description
The property comprises a two-storey detached building, constructed of cavity brick, with a flat and partially pitched roof.
Internally, the property is formed over two main levels, with accommodation as outlined below:
Ground floor: Main worship area/hall, vestry, meeting room, creche area, male and female toilets, plant room and storage room
First floor: Lesser hall, kitchen, office, storage room, male and female toilets
The finishes internally are mixed throughout, with a combination of suspended and solid floors, with the floors to the main halls being of sprung timber. The remainder of floor coverings are finished in tiles or carpets. The internal walls are generally finished in painted plaster or wallpapered, with the toilet and kitchen areas being partially tiled. Ceilings are a mix of plasterboard, with the ceilings in the main worship area being finished in acoustic tiles. Lighting is generally via a mix of fluorescent and LED fittings.
There is a central heating system which we understand is gas fired and serves a number of waterfilled radiators.
Windows are generally of single or double-glazed Perspex, with security grilles installed to the lower windows externally.
The property sits on a large site, with the northern area being finished in grass, whilst to the south and west, there is a carpark area finished in tarmacadam.
Alternative uses
The building would represent an excellent opportunity for conversion for alternative use. Alternatively, the existing buildings could be used in their existing form by a church organisation,
youth group, sports club, dance company, charity or similar type operator (subject to planning, where appropriate).
In addition, there is potential to convert for a number of commercial uses e.g. children’s nursery, craft centre, art gallery, licensed/leisure us etc. subject to planning.
