Unique home
Converted country church goes to market
PURPOSE-built by the community in 1909 and converted into an open-plan home 91 years later, “The Church” at 4015 Esk Hampton Rd, Perseverance, is for sale via expressions of interest.
Nestled on a three-acre property just half an hour from Toowoomba and a short five minute drive to Hampton, The Church has stood the test of time.
Originally constructed of local hardwood, it was known as the All Saints Catholic Church when it was built.
The building has all the features of an affluent yet charming country church, boasting grand high ceilings and windows, stained glass feature window, altar, and crowned with original impenetrable iron roofing and hand-crafted crosses.
Passing from the Catholic Diocese into the hands of a local, its transformation in about 2000 from a church to a fully operational home saw the vestry and confessional renovated, using all original materials, into a modern kitchen and bathroom with decadent dual spa bath.
The home is also 100% “off the grid”, with solar power, solar hot water system with gas option, and gas cooking stove top and oven.
