A Rare Opportunity in the Heart of Historic Maldon - Scotch Pie House circa 1866.
Step back in time and into one of Maldon's most intriguing offerings - a rare collection of three character-filled buildings, which have been an important part of Maldon's history and cultural heritage and offer exciting options for multiple use into the future.
Scotch Pie House precinct was established by Joseph Crossley, who ran it as a bakery and confectionery shop. It was a social hub in this thriving gold rush town, catering for weddings and private parties in addition to hordes of hungry miners and clamouring children, drawn by the scent of warm bread, fresh pies and cakes.
Today, its heritage charm remains intact. It's the kind of place where you can almost hear the stories rising with the dough.
On a prominent corner block, fronting both Main and Templeton Streets and just steps away from the iconic Maldon woodfired bakery and cafes, this remarkable property captures the romance of the town's gold rush era and the creative possibilities of the present day.
This unique multi-use property at 2 Templeton Street comprises:
An expansive prominent shopfront on the corner of Main and Templeton Streets.
This section of the property offers a world of potential - retail, gallery, workshop, home office, studio or residence. Adjoining spaces flow through to a second room (or second shopfront), with hands free basin and sink, and a further space with bathroom facilities. Double French doors provide a pleasant view of the garden and ponds with water feature.
Adjoining is the main three-bedroom residence, brimming with character.
Decorative fireplaces with detailed tilework, high ceilings and a tranquil, homely feel create an inviting space for family or guests.
The private walled garden, with a small, powered shed that could be converted to a studio invite creativity - or simply a quiet spot for morning coffee. There's also off-street parking and a sense of seclusion rarely found this close to town.
The adjacent former bakery, proudly bearing the Rego Flour historic advertisement, is a rustic space with two main rooms, wood heater and split system as well as a bathroom and potential kitchen. Again, various options - private retreat, studio, retail or additional accommodation.
Together, these three historic buildings tell a story that's as much about Maldon's past as its next chapter.
With three potential income streams - retail, residential, home office and studio - the property is as practical as it is poetic.
Whether you're passionate about heritage, a multi-generation family, a creative soul seeking flexible living, or a visionary ready to write the next line of this remarkable property's story, the possibilities here are as rich as the town's history.
