An awe-inspiring conversion of the 157-year-old Methodist Church set within park-like surrounds has been respectfully, meticulously converted into a three-bedroom home with the addition of a four-level tower, sympathetic in design to the historic church.
The floor plan consists of an entry vestibule with French doors leading out onto the covered verandah. From here, you enter through the original church door into the body of the church with its heritage timber trusses and high vaulted ceiling. The ground floor features the first of three bedrooms with built-in robes and integrated LED lighting, a European laundry, a bathroom with a cast iron bath with shower screen and original tapware, and a separate toilet.
Opening into the heart of the church is the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space with black steel frame double-glazed glass creating a contemporary feel. The kitchen features a Miele electric cooktop with an oven, a two-drawer dishwasher, a double sink, and bespoke cabinetry. A solid wood Rayburn stove, hydronic heating and a solid-wood heater provide comfort. Completing this space is a 750-bottle cellar.
Timber stairs lead to the mezzanine level that includes the main bedroom. A glazed link takes you from the church to the first level of the tower, which features an ensuite with a walk-in shower and built-in robes. The third bedroom is on the second level and has views overlooking the garden. The third level features a sitting room with 360-degree views of the surrounding countryside. A ladder leads to the top of the tower with endless views of the horizon.
Improvements include integrated LED lighting and ceiling fans, highly insulated, a 1kw solar system, and all steelwork is by Tait Iron. Period features include Kauri and Baltic pine flooring, original windows, and locally hand-made bricks.
Complementing the historic church is a separate studio with an attached carport and garage. The studio features bi-fold doors, two split systems, a bathroom with a shower and toilet, and a two-room flexible loft. The landscaped garden designed by Mel Husada is highlighted by its magnificent dry-stone walls, complementing the naturalistic park-like design and includes an integrated watering system.
With an underlying ethos of quality, liveability, and respect for history, this stunning conversion of the Taradale Methodist Church, combined with absolute attention to detail, makes for an extraordinary, rare home in a heritage location.
