Nearly £1.5M for one bathroom and a lifetime of constipation

[Larach]

This should be beautiful but, aside from being on the gloomy side, all I can think of is the number of spiders, especially those waiting to drop on me from the bathroom ceiling: www.themodernhouse.com/sales-list/st-thomass-church/

It's grim, too warehousey!

It’s awful. Churches are notoriously difficult to convert and that one proves the point further

Check out the stairs on this other MH listing. Duck me, it’s made me dizzy looking at a photo www.themodernhouse.com/sales-list/powis-mews/

Thanks for posting OP - I used to work near there and always wondered what it was like inside (a friend told me it was an apartment/ house but could never quite believe it!) Its the most fantastic location bang in middle of the City; it will suit some banker down to a T but it’s a bit cold and hard for my liking.

Oh wow. I love that. The price is for history and location rather than accommodation but I really like it. Seems I'm in the minority though!

I love them both !

I love the first one but if you’re in the kitchen and need a wee, you’d have to trek up four flights of stairs! I would’ve made the bathroom somewhere lower down!

Whatever happened to the concept of a house being a home, rather than an architect's plaything ?
I'd hate to be made to live in either of those, regardless of price.

I guess anyone who has £1.5M can probably afford a plasterer.

Oh God, that staircase in the second one! I had to flatten myself against the wall coming down stairs in a lighthouse once but they don't even have a wall. Terrifying.

My thoughts exactly.

It's so dark. Not sure about the bathroom at all.. would be like having a shower in a cowshed on the set of All Creatures Great and Small.

It looks cold.

I get that it's made from a church but I really only see sex dungeon and now can't shake the idea

Open concept, clear sightlines...bang on trend!

It's a characterful bolt hole for one/two in the centre of the city, when you have a nice home in the country. Preferable to all the modern flats being thrown up everywhere you look. I'm sure someone will love it .

@minimemomi You do realise that throws you in an 'interesting' light? Chortle

The link doesn't work for me can someone else please share 😁

It looks like it would be absolutely freezing no matter how much you spend on trying to heat it. The bathroom is creepy as hell too.

Powis Mews - thought it was quite cute until I clocked the asking price

Ahh I love the Modern House - it is batshit 😁 (and presumably insanely profitable, so what do I know...)

How come there's no photo of the recently-added roof terrace though?? And that is an absolute shitload of stairs.

It looks so dark. Surely you’d put a white kitchen in to maximise the light, wouldn’t you?

I probably would, @Alsohuman, but I'm the kind of person that looks at that listing and thinks the brickwork would be a bugger to clean, so I'm probably not the target market 😁

Having said that, I actually think the kitchen that's in there looks great, despite general gloomyness.

Ooh, it's the Old Operating Theatre church. You might have some permanent ghostly tenants.

Oh gosh, I am sure I once went to this church for a weight watchers meeting during my lunch time back in the noughties.
Not sure I would want to live in this location to be honest, but then again I prefer suburban bliss!

1.5m LEASEHOLD 😂
