Character with a twist

Some homes are simply houses. This one is a former 1930s church, and it has the personality to prove it. Set in the picturesque seaside community of Seacliff, with breathtaking views across the Pacific and Otago Peninsula, this wonderfully unconventional conversion offers a home that is as individual as its setting.

Enjoying a freshly renovated kitchen which has been completely transformed, one new bathroom and one renovated, making this much beautifully functional for everyday living while retaining all the things that make it so special. The open-plan interior takes full advantage of the church's original proportions, with generous living space, soaring ceilings and plenty of room to create your own corners, workspaces or cosy retreats. It's the kind of space where conventional furniture arrangements can take a back seat and a little creativity is encouraged.

Character is everywhere. Original Flemish glass has been given new life in the leadlight windows, redesigned by local artist Hazel Heal, while the combination of timber, interesting angles and unexpected spaces gives the interior an unmistakably artistic feel. With a striking mezzanine bedroom, and generous master bedroom and newly updated bathrooms add practicality to the mix.

Outside, the outlook is every bit as appealing. A patio captures those sweeping sea and peninsula views, while the garden includes a greenhouse, vegetable beds and a sunny courtyard. There's also off-street parking for four cars, along with ceiling and underfloor insulation, substantial rewiring and new switchboard, a heat pump and log burner to keep things cosy when the weather turns.

And then there's the location. Just 20 to 30 minutes from Dunedin, Seacliff offers the chance to escape the ordinary without giving up easy access to the city. Beaches, bush, walking tracks and wide-open views are all part of the everyday backdrop.

For someone looking for a home with a story, a little imagination and absolutely no interest in beige and predictable, this could be the one.
