(dreaming) I think I've found my new house... just a couple of teensy issues

Its a bit far to commute to work and the school run will be an absolute pig. But isn't it amazing (the kitchen table has to go though)?

I don't know OP - it's a bit small?

8,543sq foot a bit small?

Can't say I'm keen. Not that I need to worry at that price!

not only do you have the little glasshouse bit on the top - but you get your own pulpit.

Needs new linen throughout.

£1.2m - it's not what I'd buy there are some nice houses with some land for that

Not acres & acres, just some nice outside space

There’s something about living in an old church that really doesn’t sit well with me and I’m not sure why. Not particularly religious but having a pulpit and all the other paraphernalia would freak me out

I don’t like it at all! It’s a big cavernous box devoid of real character. I prefer cosier spaces

No garden... and a lot of wasted floor space. Potential though.

But can you imagine rollerskating or throwing a ball around in there? I think its the space I really like - my flat is the size of their kitchen! It's quite a nice art of the world too.

I wouldn't mind living in a church - I use to work for the CofE and always likes exploring the buildings. The ceiling and beams are pretty nice in there. I like old buildings with original features. You can add your own personality (its a bit 80s).

Not sure that I'd want to live in it but it is gorgeous. I found my dream home a couple of years ago. A friend in Texas posted the listing for her neighbour's house and I absolutely fell in love with it. For what it was, it was ridiculously cheap compared to UK prices. DH wouldn't let me buy it though

I found a lovely old abbey a few weeks ago, decided against it- probably haunted and was far too cheap.

I don't like open plan kitchens. You cook something and then the smell gets everywhere.
At the uni I went to one of the halls was a converted church. They hadn't changed much on the outside and to fit everything in it was a bit random! The flat my friend lived in had a corridor with some random stonework half way down and you had to go down some stairs and round a corner for her kitchen! Apparently the other flats were equally as odd.
Personally I think they've taken an interesting building and removed all the character. And yes, the commute would be awful.

Was that house in Grand designs once? Looks really familiar

I love converted churches.

I can just imagine my cats on those floors

This is the best concerted church - www.knightfrank.co.uk/properties/residential/for-sale/walton-street-knightsbridge-london-sw3/pcl180065

Heating costs would be mahoosive, and I think all that open plan would get me down. There are times when you want/need to be able to shut yourself away without retreating to a bedroom.

Wow that is lovely MrAlyhakinsetc

Stamp duty works out at £5, 193, 000!!

I love it! If I was sleeping in that small bedroom, I'd be a bit worried about the pine unit falling on top of me though.

The Knightsbridge one seems all rather Gentlemen's Club to me, though I fancy the pool. As I don't happen to have £44 mill to spare at the moment, I'll give it a swerve.

Handy for Harrods I guess. 7 bedrooms though - one for each night for the week!

lovely bit of shit carpet underneath the kitchen table and units where they touch the floor...how weird

ah...dning room, not kitchen...and under the coffee table!

It needs an injection of colour but I do quite like it. And the views from that top room would be great
