Unique 9 bedroom Church, Historic Market Town.
This superb nine bedroom (19 guests) former church is located in the historic market town of Strathaven, South Lanarkshire. Boasting superb park views, central location, expansive interior, original features, the church makes for a unique holiday stay.
The town was granted a Royal Charter in 1450, making the Town of Strathaven a burgh of barony. The town is located on the edge of the strath of the Avon Water and is around 18 miles (29 km) from Glasgow. The A71, which connects Edinburgh passes through the town.
The church enjoys a beautiful, yet peaceful location within the town. Situated next to Allison Green, the church has direct access to the park, which is well kept, has lovely flower beds and the Powmillon burn which flows through the town on its way to the River Avon. On the other side of the church lies the John Hastie and George Allan Parks. The Parks are well worth a visit, and through the summer you can enjoy boating on the pond, a railway journey on the miniature railway, lots of fun on the putting green, and plenty of space to relax and appreciate the open space. During the summer the Park is used for the Strathaven Gala celebrations, including the famous Duck Race down the Powmillon burn and in August is the venue for the annual Hot Air Balloon Festival.
Family or friends gatherings welcome. Sorry no Stag or Hen Parties.
The church comprises 1 x Master Suite, 5 Super-King Bedrooms, 2 x Twin Bedrooms, 1 x Triple Bedroom.
Ground Floor: 3 double bedrooms with super-king beds (1 ensuite). Twin bedroom with 2 single beds. Triple bedroom with 3 single beds. 1 bathroom with separate shower / bath. Utility room. Games room with slate bed pool / snooker table, books & games.
Middle Floor: Main hall comprising artwork on display from the John Hastie Museum Trust. 1 Double bedroom with super-king bed. Bathroom with separate shower / bath. Open-plan area comprising: Living room with seating for 12 guests, wood burning stove & view off the original stained glass windows; Two casual seating areas with seating for 2 x 3 guests. Kitchen area with island seating for 5 guests. Dining room with seating for 20 guests (highlight being the long “last supper” table fit for a king / queen.

Amazing!!
We had an amazing stay at East church house for a birthday celebration. The property had everything you need and was spotlessly clean. The house itself is perfectly maintained and interiors are to a high standard. This property has the wow factor and would definitely book again.
