Former Jehovah's Witness office up for sale in Tranent

Located on the town’s Church Street, the property is said to be suitable to be converted into a wide range of commercial uses or transformed instead for residential use, offering opportunities for developers, investors and owner-occupiers.

The Tranent Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, registered as a charity in 1981, used the hall as a place of worship and meetings.

The property is listed for sale by McEwan Fraser Legal for offers over £200,000, set within a “generous plot” and benefitting from a private car park, while the internal accommodation is described in the listing as “highly adaptable”.

It is suggested that the building could be a “blank canvas” due to its traditional construction and flexible layout.

The property features a sizeable main hall, kitchen, office and four WCs.

According to a brochure included with the listing, “properties of this nature, scale, and flexibility are seldom available to the open market”.

It concludes: “Overall, the property represents a truly unique chance to secure a versatile asset in a popular East Lothian market, where opportunities of this calibre are increasingly scarce.”

A Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in Mill Wynd, Haddington, was renovated four years ago and is still currently active.
