Community / Former Lerwick church building back on the market
A FORMER church building in Lerwick which was damaged in a fire in 2014 has gone back on the market.
The C-listed St Clement’s Hall, which overlooks the King George V play park, has fallen into a state of disrepair over the years.
Planning permission was granted in 2022 to turn it into four two-storey flats.
But it is now back on the market again, with an asking price of offers over £300,000.
Estate agent Anderson Strathern said the two-storey rear extension is derelict, with the roof and first floor collapsed.
This extension would require to be demolished and rebuilt to one of the residential units.
The property is on the Buildings at Risk register.
The distinctive building was opened in 1911 and was used as the parish hall for Lerwick Parish Church for many years.
In the late 1990s it was regularly in use for sales and stalls, most notably by budget retailer Chris Hodge.
