30 Market Street

A former church reimagined for contemporary country living

There’s something inherently soulful about a building with history – walls that have heard stories, laughter, music, and quiet moments of reflection. At 30 Market Street, Trentham, the former Uniting Church now offers a rare chance to write its next chapter.

Standing gracefully in the centre of this thriving country township, the mid-century brick church (circa 1966) is a symbol of timeless simplicity and enduring craftsmanship. Its clean architectural lines, soaring ceilings, and warm hardwood floors create a canvas as striking as it is serene.

Bathed in northern light, the open-plan interior retains the charm of its origins while offering boundless potential for transformation. Whether imagined as a designer residence, creative studio, boutique accommodation, or an elegant country retreat, this property invites imagination and vision.

Set on a generous allotment of approximately 1,306 m2, the land itself is as valuable as its heritage. The broad, level site provides space for gardens, a second dwelling, or subdivision potential (STCA), all within moments of Trentham’s beloved village heart.

Just steps from the café culture that defines this region – from Red Beard Bakery’s sourdough to Annie Smithers’ acclaimed du Fermier- this address celebrates the best of small-town living with Melbourne convenience. Daylesford lies only 20 minutes away, Woodend and the V/Line connection under 30, and Melbourne just 90 minutes by car.

Every aspect of 30 Market Street speaks to opportunity: the architectural integrity of its solid brick construction, the warmth of its timber floors, and the sheer romance of living within a building that has meant so much to the community.

For the visionary buyer, this is more than real estate – it’s an invitation to create something extraordinary.
