Property Description

Step into a piece of history with this truly unique home, formally known as Brookside Methodist Church. Deconsecrated in the 1970's, this quaint and remarkable property offers a rare opportunity to own a residence steeped in heritage.

With care to preserve the architectural integrity of this 154 year old building, traditional features abound, including the original church organ, pulpit and mounted exterior church cross in the rafters of the living area. A large fireplace adds to the ambience. The nave now converted into the main living space features high cathedral ceilings, arched windows and doorways. A spiral staircase leading to a small library bestows restful views of the alps.

This property features 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Built in 1870, it showcases native timbers, including Kauri doors and Rimu accents added during a renovation in the late 1980's, early 90's. The Rimu circular staircase leads to a generous master bedroom, walk- in-robe and additional storage room further enhances the character of this extraordinary home. The lower level includes the second bedroom and bathroom, featuring both shower and a spa bath. The open-plan kitchen w/ walk in pantry and dining space also features an additional wood burner.
Outside on 936m2 of land, you'll find grounds perfect for relaxing in the serene surroundings. Revered by many yet seldom found, this is a chance to bring your own personal touch to this historic gem.

Included with the sale is provenance that connects you to the property's storied past, such as photographs prior to its conversion and a pencil and ink drawing from 1978 adds to the historical significance of this one-of-a-kind property.
