PLAN To Turn Former Port Glasgow Church Into House Gets Go-Ahead

PERMISSION has been given to convert a disused church and hall into a spacious family home.

Inverclyde Council officials have approved a planning application for the former St Martin’s premises in Mansion Avenue, Woodhall.

The building, which has floorspace of 710 square metres, was put on the market by the Church of Scotland in December for offers over £150,000.

Drawings submitted to planners by Rebecchi Architectural Services show the house will have three bedrooms, dining and sitting areas, a large games area and an office.

The church was built in the 1950s. St Martin’s merged with St Andrew’s in Port Glasgow town centre to become New Parish Church.
