Reigning supreme at the doorstep of Devonport, on the warm northern slope of Mt Victoria, this beautiful landmark property is available on the open market for the first time, ever. The church, the adjacent hall and land on which they sit might be the answer to your prayers.
Designed and built in 1916 by local architects Grierson & Aimer, the well-proportioned church reflects the Arts and Crafts style, with its steep roof, textural brickwork and buttresses, while the rounded arches, symmetrical composition and decorative arcading are elements borrowed from the Romanesque style of architecture. The church interior features kauri floors, wall panelling and pews, a pulpit, vaulted ceilings, leadlight windows and a magnificent feature window of stained glass. The church hall has been rented out to various community groups, includes a full catering kitchen, with a proscenium stage ideal for live theatre and music shows. Views from the upper storey span across the rooftops to Ngataringa Bay, Takapuna and beyond.
While this absolutely unique property may be taken up by another church group and remain a place of worship, it would make a superb restaurant or function venue. With some careful guidance, it could equally be converted into an original and imaginative living space.
