Grand house. All the union jacks make it chav-tastic.
A few tins of paint and it's a house similar to what the majority of us a living in.
So much RED!
But, the bones of a lovely house there. With a bit of redecoration.
Love the old singer sewing machine. My father had one of those.
Interesting house in the UK. Well some of the artwork, the Uk room which has a Golliwog do the 3D tour it's in the UK room, etc.

And that’s what makes angry. These restrictions were created to preserve these buildings but they have the opposite effect. Who would want to sink a lot money to live in a fridge in winter. I understand some rules are needed but for me as long as the church looks almost identical from outside then I am ok. How many houses are left derelict because of these rules…
New owners would have to figure out how to escape. A baptism of fire, one might say.
That's the only church conversion I'd consider going and looking at. Very well done.
I used to work in one of those old converted churches and while it was a really cool looking building it was impossible to heat. All the heat just goes straight to the roof. I think there was alos preservation orders on the windows too so no chance of properly insulating them.
The owner is a fan of romantic suspense author Karen Rose so this décor and taste in general is not surprising (not that I knew who Karen Rose was). It has a cheaper, wannabe Barbara Cartland feel to it.
That high-shine floor in the main bedroom though - you'd have yourself a broken leg or hip within a week if you tried to walk on that in yer socks!
Maybe the pillars are there to grab onto if you slip too far, or maybe if you want to change direction, you use them to sling yerself around a corner. 😄
It's a lovely looking conversion but does the BER of F not put you off? I'd imagine it being fairly fecking chilly.
far too much open space in that kitchen. its a two day hike from one side to the other.
The dining room table and chairs (pic 9) look like something left over from the Spanish Inquisition (and about as comfortable).
I don't think so, there looks like enough counter space and storage. The openness and space is nice an island would just have clutter
Not a door, but they have to have accessible windows - there have to be windows of a particular height and ability to open sufficiently to exit. Granted a lot of older properties would be iffy on this, but if you build or renovate you have to have fire-exitable windows in all bedrooms, and this conversion seems as though it is relatively new.
(I am entertained by using the word conversion in reference to a church!)
It wouldn't be for me either, but as far a church conversions go, its one of the better ones I've seen.
Not sure I get the in case of a fire point, how is it different from any other two story house? 99.9% of two stories don't have a fire exit door upstairs.
I've my bags packed ready to move into that church!
I think it's lovely, agree about the downstairs but I also think the camera lens might be adding to the vastness.
Probably wouldn't put a bed on the balcony either .
I love the grounds aswell.
No curtains or anything to stop the light in the morning at 4am.
A lot of church conversions look weird upstairs where the first floor has been added. The downstairs ones look slightly weird with this one, but they seem to have added a fake wall and window sill upstairs so it looks good.
Ooh, I like that! I agree that downstairs is too open and would lose the overhead beds.
I don't get the 4am comment though.
That's one of the better church conversions I've seen, by quite some distance. They've done a lovely job with the upstairs.
Downstairs is a bit vast, could definitely do with being broken up a bit more - and yes, something to fill that yawning space in the kitchen (you'd certainly get your steps up pacing around that!)
I suppose its true of any of these chapel conversions, but how do you get out in the case of fire? There appears to be 3 doors downstairs, but upstairs you are stuck. And there isn't a lot of scope for opening windows for ventilation, though I suspect there are plenty of draughts to deal with that!
Otherwise I think it is rather attractive, though I would want to do some rearranging, not sure about the completely open plan downstairs, or the bed on a balcony upstairs. A floor plan of the upstairs would have been helpful.
That kitchen could really do with an island.
This one is different. Not for me, it seems weird but might suit some heathen who likes to wake up at 4am in the summer time.
Seems cheap enough.
A very big shed/garage and 'stables' at the back?
Room for a pony!

It’s insane that a house of that size and quality (marble and pillars aside 😁) and the estate agent goes around taking the photos with what looks like a very old phone. And no floor plans?
Its hard to judge how much work needs doing on this house and gardens etc - the photos are very limited and poor quality. We dont get to see proper photos of the bathrooms, or wardrobes or the gardens. I expect some of the bedrooms and bathrooms are not finished at all or of a really poor standard.
Maybe it belongs to a marbe sales man and he gets to bring home the surplus stock.
Is that cement or a glue under it? Imagine having to replace all the flooring too?
Is that what they call a 'Feature Wall'?
They were the hight of fashion at one stage, if memory serves me right.
Well that one on the left certainly didn't go in before the flooring!
It looks like they're just sitting on the floor.
