A positively divine opportunity exists to purchase the former Stroud Road Uniting Church, established in 1915 and decommissioned in December 2019. Two adjacent lots each of approximately 1012sqm and on separate titles, deliver a total approximate 2024sqm (half acre). Offered for sale as a single parcel, the Church and Hall, sited on Lot 2, with Village Zoning, are exciting prospects for redevelopment into a private residence, BnB or gallery/cafe STCA. With an aesthetic design and solid construction over brick piers, the 10.2m x 6.7m church boasts a gabled iron roof, high timber paneled cove ceilings and walls with dado detail, ceiling fans, beautiful, pointed windows and external doors. The former Vestry, now a storage area, opens to a covered walkway linking the church with the Church Hall. With excellent construction over concrete piers, the Hall is a 12m x 7.5m light-filled space with plastered cove ceilings, lighting, ceilings and hardwood timber floors and stage. There is a large, clean and functional kitchen with sweeping benchtops, cabinetry, electric stove and sink. The provision of a basic washroom with toilet and hand basin, make this space a perfect temporary residence throughout the Church renovation process. Additional features include power, town water, transpiration waste management system and entry to both Church and Hall via a short flight of steps or wheelchair access ramp. Fully fenced on three sides, the Church frontage is to the Bucketts Way, affording it excellent access. Additionally, with its separate title, subsequent sale of the adjoining, level and cleared Lot 1 could provide significant funding to put towards renovations.
The major retail and commercial hubs of Gloucester (30mins), Raymond Terrace, Karuah and Mid-north Coast beaches and waterways (45mins) and Newcastle (70mins) are all within easy reach. Sydney is a smooth approximate 2.5hrs drive down the Pacific Highway while the Hunter’s renowned wineries, horse studs, notable sites and World Heritage Barrington Tops National Park all close by. Decommissioned churches are highly desirable, rarely remaining on the market for long. Be quick. Don’t miss this ethereal opportunity.
