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.
