Set on an expansive allotment of approximately 2,237sqm, the former St Andrews Uniting Church is steeped in history and ideally positioned just a short stroll from Chiltern's local shops, cafés, schools, parks, and sports grounds.
Originally constructed between circa 1871 and 1875, this striking Gothic Revival-style church is one of the region's most recognizable historic buildings now presenting a rare and exciting opportunity to secure a property rich in character and potential.
Significant restoration work has already been undertaken, preserving the building's integrity while allowing for future adaptation.
With its classic red-brick façade, cream brick quoining, granite footings, and iron roof, the architecture tells the story of a bygone era. The front entrance features a gabled porch and a distinctive octagonal belfry, crowned with a gable apex.
Inside, the main nave and sanctuary span approximately 15m x 7.7m, showcasing vaulted, timber-lined ceilings and lancet windows that fill the space with soft, filtered light. A separate kitchenette offers independent rear access, with the grounds including an external bathroom and a garden shed.
Connected to mains power, water, and sewer, this property is well positioned for those seeking to restore, re-purpose, or reinvent a rare piece of local heritage.
Currently the property does not have an occupancy certificate however, any purchaser intending to convert or repurpose the building would almost certainly be undertaking works to the property regardless. As such, the occupancy certificate would form part of the purchaser's own plans and approvals, and the overall process could be completed relatively quickly, depending on the scope of works.
This presents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a unique conversion or project, with clear upside potential.
