This former Wesleyan Methodist Church is a small bluestone building in the picturesque gothic style ( circa 1860), located in the centre of town. It operated as a church until 1977 and has since been converted to a residence. A mezzanine level has been built for an upstairs bedroom. An additional bedroom, kitchen and bathroom are on the ground level. The bluestone construction provides natural insulation remaining cool in the summer and retains warmth in the winter.
Once outside the house you are surrounded by an established garden of mature trees and low maintenance garden beds providing serenity as well as an environment to let the artistic juices flow. There is a garage/workshop measuring approx 8m * 12m at the back of the block.
If you are looking for a unique and quirky home, this will fit the bill.
