Church Conversion Opportunity - Tender Closing Tuesday

The tender closes on Tuesday at 4pm.
The recently deconsecrated St Augustine's Church buildings and land on the southern side of Calliope Road in Devonport are being sold by Tender. There are two historic buildings on the 774 sq metre clifftop site at 95a Calliope Road; situated midway between the Village and Stanley Point - and at the heart of the Devonport Peninsula. The amazingly spacious interiors offer a rare opportunity to undertake an extraordinary renovation; while preserving much of the original style and historic character of the two former church buildings. Both the landmark St Augustine's buildings have soaring ceilings, offering exciting potential for imaginative and creative design transformation on two levels. The building fronting Calliope Road is a 220 sq metre double-skinned brick church. It was built in 1930 and is dominated by its magnificent wooden vaulted ceiling. There is a bell tower, a raised gallery and a vestry room. The 120 sq metre church hall at the rear of the St Augustine's land retains the original timber lining and a striking triple lancet window. We invite buyers to view these two heritage buildings and be inspired by the range of possibilities for future development. The potential to create something very special can only be fully appreciated when you look inside these two large Devonport landmarks. This is undoubtedly an opportunity with a difference - whether you convert the buildings into stunning homes, create a home in one and a business from the other; or the buildings continue as a special centre serving our community - the possibilities are exciting. We suggest you go online to check out "church conversions" and then imagine what you might achieve. We have a selection of potential planning possibilities for this very special site available and would be pleased to share this documentation. The Diocese is offering this well-loved church for sale and proceeds are earmarked to enhance their mission and service to the community at Holy Trinity and the Parish Hall in Church Street. We will be opening between 12.00 and 12.30 on Saturdays and Sundays or call us for a private viewing. The Tender closes on Tuesday 11th July and the property will not be sold prior. Please note there is no bedroom or bathroom, these were added to comply with website conditions.
