Rare Provincial Heritage Opportunity: Historic Former Church Turned Victorian Residence
Discover a true piece of Worcester’s history at this historical site.
The core structure of this impressive home originally served as Worcester’s very first church (early 1800s), later sensitively converted into a residential dwelling and enhanced with elegant Victorian additions. Known in local heritage circles as “At Last,” this character-rich property offers timeless charm, architectural significance, and strong potential for restoration or investment.
Key Features:

This beautiful old house radiates stories and authenticity from every corner: solid construction, high ceilings, peaceful garden outlook, and irreplaceable heritage features.
While it retains incredible period character and structural integrity, it requires urgent maintenance and thoughtful TLC to fully restore its former splendor – presenting a rewarding opportunity for buyers passionate about preserving Cape Winelands history.
A rare find in today’s market: heritage status adds prestige and potential tax/incentive benefits, while the central location and flatlet setup offer excellent rental yield or family flexibility.
