Historic Aberdeen church building price slashed after failing to sell
The historic building was formerly the Rosemount Parish Church, but is now named The Father's House, after it was transformed into an event space with a cafe. The C-listed Gothic-style church was renovated to also include meeting rooms, letting rooms, and a function hall which can hold up to 300 people and is described as ideal for weddings, birthdays, and conferences.

The building also housed the Aberdeen North Foodbank for two years until September 2024 which was run by the Christ Apostolic Church House of Prayer. Situated in Caroline Place, The Father's House is in a well-connected location in the Granite City, but has failed to sell. The Father's House was listed for sale in August 2022, with a guide price of £1.1 million. However, more than two and a half years later, the property remains unsold. A massive £400,000 was then slashed from the price, bringing the guide price to £700,000 and has since been cut once again to £650,000. Simon Watson, business agent at Christie & Co, who is managing the sale, said: 'The business is currently vacant and provides an excellent opportunity for an incoming operator or developer.'

Former £1m Rosemount church to go under the hammer after two price drops in two months
A former Aberdeen church that now boasts 17 bedrooms has gone up for auction with a guide price of £650,000. Previously Rosemount Parish Church, the Gothic-style building was transformed a number of years ago in a bid to attract local businesses to rent out the space. Converted into The Father's House, it became a bed and breakfast, cafe and event space that could accommodate up to 300 guests at a time. The substantial venue, on Caroline Place, closed in 2022. The Father's House was once listed for sale for a whopping £1.1 million, but its price was slashed to £700,000 in February 2025. Now, it is to go under the hammer with Auction House Scotland on May 15 with the guide price reduced further to £650,000. Auction House Scotland (AHS) say that the auction represents a 'unique opportunity'. They describe the property a perfect for the development of some residential flats, subject to planning permission. Anyone taking on the property will acquire a large property, with scope for a variety of uses. The Father's House is in a 'well-connected location' and has a private car park for large events – or to provide parking for homes. On the ground floor at present are eight en-suite rooms – a mix of singles and double bedrooms – as well as a lounge and dining room. There are a further nine en-suite letting rooms – a mix of singles, twins, doubles, and suites – on the first floor as well. And there is also a large function room suitable for up to 300 guests, making it ideal for weddings, birthdays and conferences. The café has a fully fitted commercial kitchen and can accommodate around 80 guests. It has previously been used as a venue for smaller parties and weddings.
