Landmark former church building in Musselburgh for sale

Latterly occupied by space technology company Astrosat when it was known as Copernicus Kirk, the church, at 200 High Street is being marketed by Graham & Sibbald as a 'B' listed office.

The building, which was formerly the High Kirk of St Andrews, dates back to the 19th century and has been used as a dolls museum in the past.

It is stated on Graham & Sibbald's website that the building "may suit a variety of alternative uses (STP)."

It added: "Designed by the renowned R Thornton Shiells which originally dates back to 1843 before it was recast in 1889. Almost square plan with steeper pitched cross gables added, the subjects are of traditional stone construction surmounted by an ornate pitched and slated roof and benefits from a prominent frontage overlooking the River Esk and Bridge Street.

"To the rear of the property, a single storey stone extension adjoins which provides additional back of house and ancillary storage space.

"The property was upgraded and converted following a change of use from leisure to offices in 2015. There are two points of access taken directly from the High Street. Internally the main church hall is currently laid out to provide flexible open plan office space with generous floor to ceiling heights created by the vaulted ceiling design.

"As part of the 2015 planning permission and due to the expansive height which the hall provides, a raised feature board room with floor to ceiling glazing was created which overlooks the main hall. Situated either side of the featured boardroom are two private offices. There is a basement store which is accessed externally from the eastern gable. WC facilities are located at ground floor level off the main reception / hallway."
