“It’s got a lot of flexibility,” Gray says.
It features a large main hall measuring 9.49m x 12.7m, an elevated stage, two smaller rooms, a kitchen and male and female bathrooms, original timber flooring and two garages.
“We’ve had interest from people with grand designs wanting to turn it into a masterpiece be it a conversion with the existing building or developing the site,” Gray says.
“This one has also had interest from yoga centres and meditation groups.”
Gray is also expecting developers to turn up to the auction.
“Developers don’t always show a lot of interest until the auction,” she says.
“Often developers will just rock up on the day.”

It features a large open area measuring 8.56m x 11.2m with a character fireplace, as well as three offices, a sitting room, functional kitchen, storage room, two bathrooms and a large garage at the rear.
While Brown says interest in the property has mainly been from buyers looking to knock down and rebuild the site creating a dream home, there has also been talk of transforming the existing space internally.
