Perfect for an extended family or larger group of friends seeking somewhere truly special, this creative conversion boasts high vaulted ceilings, ornate windows and spaces filled with streaming coloured light on bright, sunny days. The reception hall, with its beautiful rose window, houses the stairs that lead to the upper two storeys and open galleried landing. Head through to the former nave to luxuriate in the awe-inspiring, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Cater for your party in the chic kitchen space beneath the great arched window. Congregate around the long oak table to dine as you admire the pews, organ and great pipes that still reach up towards the high ceiling. There is also a handy utility room on the ground floor.
