And it says they won't necessarily take the highest or any particular bid. Sounds like a "control" issue to me, despite losing money on the deal. NT at Avebury control freaks? Surely not? Hahahahaha! Do the National Trust own the building then? Perhaps it is still owned by the church group who originally used it. The asking price does seem low compared with today's property prices but whoever buys it will have to jump through hoops to get planning permission for almost any other use. Quote: "The present use is within Class D1 of the Use Classes Order, as a place of worship. This would also permit other community uses including clinics, surgeries, crèches, day nurseries and consulting rooms. Alternatively, in our view the property could be converted for use to serve the tourist industry, as a visitor centre, shop or café. It could also be converted to a single dwelling, although all of these uses would require planning permission to be granted". I haven't checked but would guess the NT 'own' the land and leasehold so there will probably be ground rent as well. That could be hefty.
