Fall in love with chapel charm in Kimbolton
Auction 1pm, Wed 25 Nov 2026 (unless sold prior), held at 243 Broadway Avenue, Palmerston North.
A short drive from Feilding and an unwinding commute from Palmerston North, just off the main street of Kimbolton, sits a once-humble 1950s chapel, reimagined through quality, craftsmanship and an interior designer's eye for detail. From the bell tower to the woodwork, the soaring ceilings and gleaming timber floors, every element is carefully considered. A modern bedroom and bathroom wing completes the design story, set in beautifully established, park-like grounds.
Discover the property through the peaceful entrance at 16 Flyger Street, where the welcome begins. The bell tower and cross rise above the roofline, fretwork windows frame the dark weatherboards, and a covered veranda with a curved balustrade leads you to the door.
Inside, the living area lifts to a vaulted, panelled ceiling, with polished timber floors beneath and French doors opening to the deck. An octagonal archway frames the kitchen, where a central island, shaker style cabinetry and a bay of casement windows look out to the garden. Small crosses carved into the joinery, the fireplace brackets and the range hood are quiet reminders of where it all began.
The modern wing brings three double bedrooms, a family bathroom and an ensuite, all within approximately 128sqm of living.
Magical views through every window create their own stories throughout the seasons.
Outside, the private, elevated 3,901sqm (more or less) section is a feature in its own right. Wide lawns slope away from the veranda, framed by mature trees, established gardens and a fire pit area for evenings outdoors, with abundant bird life for company. An armillary sphere welcomes you at the entry and a wooden ring art piece frames the chapel from the lawn, and both stay with the property. Five car garaging with a workshop gives you room for vehicles, hobbies and projects.
Kimbolton is a peaceful rural village with a cosy cafe, bowling green, native plant reserve and local rugby grounds, and Kimbolton Primary School is close by. Feilding is only 28 kilometres away and Palmerston North CBD roughly 45 kilometres, so it suits those commuting to work who want a slower pace at home. Young families, professionals and retirees will all feel part of this wonderful rural community.
In a world of its own, this beautiful chapel is now ready for you to create your own memories and enjoy this tranquil setting.
