THE word unique is often bandied about, but this alluring property in the heart of Bendigo is truly unique.

It presents a wonderful opportunity for someone with entrepreneurial flair to turn it into a business venture such as a B and B (walk to the CBD, shops and cafes), a caf/wedding venue, medical rooms(STCA),even return it all to a lovely private home, which part of it is already.
The City of Greater Bendigo’s Extension to the CBD Plan embraces this area showing that this property will be even closer again to the CBD in years to come.

Presently an art gallery/studio/residence, this historic property began life as a church, with a hall and Sunday School added later. It’s been home to Scouts, Girl Guides, Brownies, dance schools.
Beautiful hardwood floors are throughout and the original building, divided into a series of rooms, has high painted pine ceilings and walls.

The residence comprises three bedrooms, one being the original kitchen of the hall (you can see where they served the scones, jam and cream); a big living and dining area, light and airy, with two sets of french doors opening to a gracious white-pillared verandah and a beautiful old-world garden; a well-appointed modern kitchen with masses of storage, gas and electric cooking, and Bosch dishwasher, and a large formal dining and living room with a third set of french doors opening to the verandah. Two reverse-cycle split-systems ensure comfort.

Wintertime you have views of Lake Weeroona through the deciduous trees, in summer the owners love eating in the garden amid its leafy foliage.
There’s a three-piece bathroom, a bright laundry/sewing room, and an artist’s studio overlooking the garden.
Plans for a second level have been approved (imagine a balcony overlooking Lake Weeroona, the ducks, the rowers).

This property has had a long and colourful history, it deserves a great future. Call Brett Thompson or Rory Somerville today and see for yourself.
