Church Sells Beachfront Manse

The Church of Scotland is selling a stunning beachfront four-bedroom former manse in North Berwick for over £1 million — a move part of a broader strategy to downsize its vast property portfolio and cut costs amid declining congregations and rising maintenance bills. Located just steps from the sand with sea views, tennis courts, and a private garden, the property is drawing serious interest from buyers and developers alike. This isn’t the first church property to hit the market — the church sold the moderator’s Edinburgh home for nearly £1 million two years ago — and proceeds typically fund local congregations or church work. As Scotland’s most beloved communities continue to attract buyers, these unique former church buildings are becoming prized real estate gems — a sign of adaptation in a changing world.
