31 Makin Street, Hamley Bridge, SA 5401

An exceptional opportunity awaits with this property offered over two titles, both featuring individual character buildings.
We are offering flexibility around purchase, by offering both as a whole, or individually if needed.

Set on two individual allotments totalling 1,701sqm, this listing boasts two cherished buildings: "The Rectory" (also known as "The Cottage") and the historic Formerly Anglican Church of St Thomas.

The Rectory offers classic charm with timber floorboards, pressed metal ceilings, and beautiful leadlight accents. Featuring two bedrooms, its layout includes a spacious rear section, perfect for conversion into an open-plan area complete with a kitchen. The besser brick extension includes basic plumbing, providing a versatile space with potential for creative renovations.

The Formerly Anglican Church of St Thomas stands proudly on the elevated side of the street, with a Foundation Stone laid in 1889 and its original bell still functional, evoking memories of its early parishioners. Its stately stone exterior, accented with red brick quoins and intricate leadlight windows, pays homage to those who contributed to its legacy. The windows tell stories of community members, some of whom made the ultimate sacrifice in wartime.

At the rear of the property, a modest shed, along with a single toilet and sink, completes this historic offering.

Nestled in Hamley Bridge, a charming town set in the scenic valley between the Gilbert and Light Rivers, these properties are steeped in rich local history. Just an hour from Adelaide, Hamley Bridge was named after Colonel Francis Hamley, whose wife laid the foundation stone of the River Light Railway Bridge in 1868. The town has a storied past, with railway development, heritage architecture, and a vibrant farming community that shaped its growth. The Formerly Anglican Church of St Thomas, built through a generous land donation in 1889, served as a beacon for the growing mission district.

Through decades of challenges and community spirit, St Thomas has remained a landmark, from early worship in temporary spaces to the establishment of a supportive community hub. The adjacent cottage became a valuable meeting place for the congregation, donated in 1956 and blessed in 1958. Over the years, it has hosted numerous gatherings, fundraisers, and community events.

Now, these historic properties are offered for sale jointly, opening doors for a new steward-or stewards-to reimagine their potential. Whether you envision it as a retirement retreat, a first home, or even a home with consulting rooms, these character properties offer endless possibilities.

Located just 58 minutes from Adelaide, this is a rare chance for discerning buyers to own a piece of Hamley Bridge history.

A Programmed Sentricon Service is in place being monitored by Pest Technicians. Further information is available at request of the Agent.
