PRIVATELY owned for many years, Sandford’s St Martin’s Anglican Church is ready for a new owner to write its next chapter. This historic property dates back to the 1920s when its foundation stone was laid.

Today, it offers endless possibilities for the next owner.

Fall Real Estate agent Deb Dilger said a property such as this — well located, and equally well maintained — offers abundant opportunity.

Mrs Dilger said the versatile property could be transformed into an art studio, meeting hall, coffee shop, or even be converted into a residence, subject to council approval.

She said the next owners have the opportunity to continue serving local families by extending the existing cemetery and columbarium, or repurposing the former church for functions, weddings, or events.

“Since launch, I have had a high volume of inquiries for this interesting property,” she said.

“The church is lovely inside.

“At inspections, some potential buyers have suggested it could be a cafe, or converted into a residence, in the future.”

Churches have long been celebrated for their exceptional construction and aesthetic appeal, making them highly sought after among discerning buyers.

No.18 School Rd features polished hardwood floors, original stained-glass windows, and timber ceilings.

However, as with any building — especially an older one — a building inspection is suggested.

In recent years, this former church has been a venue for Kokusai Goju Karate-Do classes, demonstrating its potential for varied usage.

The property also includes a meeting room, kitchen and toilets on its big block.

St Martin’s Anglican Church has not held services since 2016.

The 4806sq m property includes a cemetery.

No.18 School Rd, Sandford is listed for sale with Fall Real Estate, offers closing May 13, unless sold prior.
