Swoon.

(Although I'm not sure about the gravestone)

It’s gorgeous, though I’m not sure how practical it would be to live in...the spiral staircase, the garden needs work, the kitchen. It also looks dark.

I’d live in it with DH .... kids not so sure.

WinoLino · 06/04/2021 08:53

Interesting because I thought the opposite, that it was light and quite practical. Couldn't afford it but would love to live there with our kids, it's gorgeous. I mean the kitchen is not at all in keeping with the rest of the place but I could live with it until we could change it.

Shudder I could never live in a church however nicely it's been decorated, even the windows give me the creeps!

3orangekissesfromkazan · 06/04/2021 13:49

I find it really creepy too

dotdashdashdash · 06/04/2021 14:33

I love chapel conversions, but that seems really badly done to me.

tenredthings · 06/04/2021 14:51

That entrance hall wall looks damp !

Purplecatshopaholic · 06/04/2021 14:56

Wow, I’d have that in a heartbeat if the location suited - would love to live in a converted church

emmathedilemma · 06/04/2021 15:05

Did they not think to tidy up before the photos were taken?
It's a bit odd that there's 5 bedrooms but not a single photo of a bedroom other than what appears to be a mattress on a floor.
It looks like a money pit to me!

MaryIsA · 06/04/2021 15:32

It's up for auction, has a slight air of someone ran out of money...or oomph.

ComtesseDeSpair · 06/04/2021 15:46

Having previously owned a genuinely gorgeous and sympathetically designed church conversion, I think this one is a bit sad. They’ve lost so many of the original features in creating the upstairs and the kitchen and living room just look like strange afterthoughts when they should be the integral focus.

Some parts are lovely though, I do really like the full view of the floor to ceiling window from the upstairs double doors.

Londonmummy66 · 06/04/2021 15:54

Damp patches on all the walls, the photo of the white wall with the front door in it is almost certainly photographed from the busy A39 (which is less than 3 metres from it which is the main road south of Bristol and if you look at the map you'll see it is virtually surrounded by the River Sheppy which would suggest a big flood risk to me.

Darker · 06/04/2021 15:56

You lot are so practical. To me its just a fantasy!

WildCherryBlossom · 07/04/2021 10:19

The kitchen is pure suburbia. Totally out of keeping. It seems to have lost a lot of character in the conversion process.

For a moment I thought it was going to be one that friends live in - not too far from there. My friends' home is done far more sympathetically to the building and has so much more character (but it is cold and dark, for all its beauty!)

WildCherryBlossom · 07/04/2021 10:22

Sorry about the suburbia comment. It is someone's home. I'm quite PMTish today which is making me unnecessarily barbed.

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 07/04/2021 10:24

Looks cold to me.

450K just about buys a semi round me!

whataboutbob · 07/04/2021 18:16

I don’t think it is to my taste either. It’s like someone has put on completely the wrong clothes for their body shape. The fittings and furniture look all wrong- wrong scale, wrong style etc. I’d just buy a Victorian house, a lot easier to style.

Would anyone care to view this one... the video is especially poignant ( the music !)
Enjoy !

If you really want a house to swoon over in the area then this is more like it...

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 07/04/2021 18:41

That looks like an operating theatre!

Hoppinggreen · 07/04/2021 18:44

I dint think they have made the best of the building and I agree with a pp that they have run out of money and/or enthusiasm

Darker · 08/04/2021 08:09

121Hugs that’s a very singular house.

Omg 21! The stainless steel prison toilets! Wow!

Bluntness100 · 08/04/2021 14:10

The upstairs is lovely but the downstairs is just really badly done. It’s like a dated semi. Not for me.

PegasusReturns · 08/04/2021 14:21

I like a well done church conversion but this one is horrible - that kitchen looks like it belongs in a Barrett new build.

WTF is the music about! I just burst out laughing in the office - thankfully it's Covid so I'm the only one here!
