Househunters with plenty of vision are being given the chance to snap up a former Moray church.

Westhall Church, near Cullen, has been left derelict for years but has a lot of potential for developers to create their own unique vision.

The current building is just a one-bedroom vestry house requiring full refurbishment.

On the market for a lowly £40,000, the property is situated in the parish of Deskford, a couple of miles south of Cullen.

Future Property Auctions, who are auctioning off the property, believe it has the potential to be turned into a five-bedroom home, with a sizable return on investment.

It could also be utilised as an Airbnb or B&B for holidaymakers looking to explore Speyside and the Moray coast.

Rental potential could be between £60,000 and £100,000 per year based on room rates for 200 nights of the year.
