36 Scott Street

Branxholm TAS 7261

The former St John the Baptist church is a substantial building, set in a commanding position on a large corner block at the top of the town. The outside of the property is in reasonable condition and includes some garden, a generous lawned area and a lovely calling bell. Inside, the building is in particularly good condition with neo-gothic windows shining light through the original parish chapel. From the disability-friendly entrance you are welcomed by the lobby along with a kitchen, toilet amenity and meeting room (all additions to the building - circa 1997). Underneath provides a secure area for some storage and also easy access to the plumbing works etc.
The property in its current condition and zoned 'Village' by Dorset Council provides a rare and exciting opportunity to get creative and develop 36 Scott Street in to a residence/AirBnB, meeting hall, art studio or perhaps as a hospitality or tourism venture (STCA). The growth of Derby and surrounds by the mountain biking community (particularly) in recent times has seen beautiful townships along the way flourish with activity. Branxholm is conveniently located less than 10 minutes to Derby and only 20 to the regional centre of Scottsdale.
