Potential and Possibilities Aplenty...

Seldom do opportunities present to market to secure such a substantial parcel of land in a township and even rarer to be accompanied by a substantial and significant local church and hall.

Merely meters away from the Main Street of growing and effervescent Virginia is this very special offering.

Set in a country township that has transformed in character and activity over recent times as new estates pop up and development nearby improve local facilities making for a vibrant community.

This makes Virginia one of the few country townships with a unique identity offering all the services one expects of a busy township and yet all of this is set simply minutes from established urban centres.

All the more connected thanks to the Northern Expressway and South Road that further improve the liveability of this location so making Virginia the very best balance between country living without the normal compromises and inconveniences normally associated with that lifestyle.

9 Phineas Street, Virginia describes the two titles of land that enjoy 2 street frontages backing on to Leach Street. Each title boasts approximately 1092m2 so providing near 2184m2 in total. One title is unimproved with further scope to build upon and make use of in the fullness of time (S.T.C.C.) whilst the northern title is what the chapel, hall and improvements are set upon.

The foundation stones indicate that 1st of May 1936, construction began with the first service being held by Samuel Taylor on 28th August that same year. Interestingly, Samuel Taylor passed away on the 22nd anniversary of the churches first service aged 95 years old having preached to locals for 77 years!

His name along with other prominent figures of early European settlement are memorialised on the gorgeous leadlight windows that adorn the Chapel. These are names found on street signs throughout the district and highlight the intimate connection early parishioners had with the surrounding district.

The hall was added in 1959 and is a grand cavernous and expansive space eclipsing the chapel in its utility with stage, kitchen and washroom facilities.

For those that have dreamed of converting a church for residential purposes then an inspection is all you will need to ferment the creative juices as options, possibility and potential abound.

A church or community group would rejoice in the fit for purpose nature of the space in an area that is enjoying remarkable population growth and may also appreciate the potential to develop or liquidate surplus land in order to sustain their organisation into the future.

Regardless of what you may chose to use this property for in the future, the fact remains that rarely do opportunities of this nature present to market, so well disposed in such a convenient location.
