What an opportunity to secure this circa 1860′s property that began its life as a local church and is located right in the heart of the bustling main street! Currently being utilised as a community hall and performing arts studio, this character laden property, affectionately known as the blue door’ has also been an army depot, Masonic lodge, Red Cross and CWA centre and full time residence.

Built around 1860 by Willunga’s Church of Christ, the building is constructed of finely worked local stone with brick decorations and slate roof. Various upgrades and improvements have been carried out over the years, with a new slate roof being completed approx 10 years ago, however, the building still retains all of its original charm, much feature timber work and many of its character features.

Inside, there is essentially one large open space with high cathedral ceilings and beautiful solid jarrah floors. The tall, double front door entrance as well as the windows are beautifully arched and in keeping with the church theme + a large chandelier hangs dramatically from the ceiling. A handy, built in storage cupboard runs along the side of one wall, a cosy combustion heater easily heats the vast space and the original cellar is still accessible via a tramp door in the far end of the floor.

A functional kitchen and adjacent meals area is separated from the living/working space by a solid wall, complete with huge sliding timber doors. There is also a separate room located nearby, ideal for an office space or storage area. The combined bathroom/laundry and toilet are located in what appears to have been a small lean to’ extension at some point, but are relatively modern and very serviceable.

Outside, the building is set on a versatile corner allotment that spans 682m2 (approx) in size and allows for plenty of parking either at the front (on the main street) or alternatively in the back car park facility.

Zoned H(C)(W)87 – Historic (Conservation/Willunga) Residential to the City of Onkaparinga, the hall and the original stone outhouse, currently being used as a storage shed are both protected by Heritage listing status, so any/all alterations or changes of use to the buildings must be sympathetic to the structure, in keeping with the area and of course approved by council.

This is a fantastic opportunity to secure yourself a slice of Willunga’s History and with so many possibilities for its use in the future in this highly sought after Main Street position! Willunga is a country town with a thriving arts, caf, produce, viticulture, agricultural, sporting and environmental culture and is located only 50kms from the city.
