"This converted vicarage makes for truly special home.

We were so thankful that it maintained its Victorian charming features from the original wood floors to the front hall tiles and swinging double doors that would have received the vicar's guests.

We did our best to honour the original details in the renovations we undertook; From the original Victorian encaustic red tiles inspiring the new terracotta tiles in the bathrooms, to the green kitchen being inspired by uncovering unsalvageable dark green casein paint on the walls, We've attempted to maintain its history while making the necessary updates in a contemporary way.

The building itself has an interesting history; It was originally the vicarage for the church next door, but the current church itself was actually historically the building the housed the Sunday School as part of a larger building that sat on the corner of Hampden Road.

From community records, I have found that the church burned down in the 1970's and was parcelled off and developed into a version of the apartment building that now exists.

The Sunday School was then converted to serve as the worship hall and the vicarage was sold off to become a private residence.

It only had two previous owners before us since then, each owner keeping it for around 20 years.

The church next door holds service every Sunday and you can heard the gentle sound of singing and organs from a relaxing Sunday-morning soak in the bath."
