Killing Heidi rocker Ella Hooper's former church home hits the market for $610,000

If you're after a property to get your creative juices flowing, look no further than 41 Primrose Street.

Known as The Parish, the converted church was once a creative hub for Ella and Jesse Hooper from Australian rock band Killing Heidi.

Purchased by their late mother in 1998, the space became a hub for musicians and the recording venue for Ms Hooper's solo album Small Town Temple.

Currently listed for sale by Donna Abbey from Elders Real Estate Euroa, the property has a price guide of $560,000 to $610,000.

Ms Abbey said the property had a "special energy" about it.

"You step out of the car, move through the archway into the courtyard, hear the sounds of the fountain, and everything softens," she said.

"Then through the vestibule and into the church, you really feel the space, light, and the way it holds itself."

Located on a spacious 4002 square metre allotment, the two-bedroom home has been lovingly cared for over the years with many original period details remaining.

Soaring ceilings, original timber floorboards, arched windows and exposed timber ceilings all add charm and character to the unique home.

The single level property features two bedrooms, one bathroom, a commercial kitchen, and a large open-plan living and dining area.

Ms Abbey said that there was a "warmth and history" within the home due to its life as a creative hub.

"People have shared ideas here, danced and made music - including of course some Australian music history with the likes of Ella and Jesse Hooper recording here," she said

"This has added another layer to its story and character."

A large wraparound verandah offers plenty of room to relax outside and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

In the paved outdoor area is a water fountain, fire pit and plenty of shade sails to keep you covered and cool in summer.

Due to the size of the property, there's also plenty of room to expand the gardens and outdoor areas.

The uniqueness of the property has drawn genuine interest from a wide buyer pool including locals, city buyers and creatives, said Ms Abbey.

"People are drawn to the idea of living in a former church because it's unique," she said.

"It offers a lot including a commercial kitchen, while still leaving room for whoever is to become its next custodian."

Ms Hooper and her brother Jesse came into the public consciousness through the success of their band Killing Heidi in the mid-1990s.

The band released three studio albums, Reflector, Present and Killing Heidi, before splitting in 2006.

The song Weir became one of their most successful and well-known tracks.

The house is centrally located, not far from Violet Town's main street with a selection of local shops, cafes and the popular Violet Town Market, which is held monthly.

Violet Town is located roughly a two hour drive from Melbourne's CBD and recorded a population of 717 at the 2021 census.

41 Primrose Street, Violet Town is currently listed for sale by Donna Abbey from Elders Real Estate Euroa. The price guide is $560,000 to $610,000.
