Own a rare and unforgettable piece of history at 1147 Horrocks Highway, Templers - a stunningly converted 1864 bluestone church, now transformed into a warm and welcoming family home. Set on an expansive 2,030m² (approx.) and surrounded by majestic gum trees, this landmark residence blends timeless character with functional living.
From the moment you step inside, the soul of the original church is on full display. The vast, open-plan family and meals area is simply breath-taking - soaring cathedral ceilings with original pressed tin, lancet arched windows flooding the space with natural light, and a combustion heater offering cosy comfort through the cooler months.
The sense of scale is extraordinary, creating a grand but welcoming atmosphere. A true centrepiece is the impressive mezzanine level with polished hardwood floors and an ornate decorative balustrade, perfect as a master bedroom, retreat, or creative studio. This elevated space looks out over the living area below and adds both drama and functionality.
The well-equipped kitchen is a charming mix of rustic and modern, featuring stone flooring, electric appliances, a large pantry, and generous storage space.
Downstairs, you'll find three spacious bedrooms, each with wood-look vinyl flooring that complements the building's natural tones. One includes a built-in robe, and all offer ample room to relax. A separate lounge area provides a second living space, complete with a gas heater, a ceiling fan. Roller shutters have been installed on select windows, enhancing both privacy and climate control.
Outside, the property continues to impress with a full perimeter fence, undercover entertaining area, large workshop with adjoining patio, a 6x3m storage area, gazebo, rainwater tanks for garden use, and several sheds for all your practical needs. Mains power and water are connected for everyday convenience.
