“Tired, neglected and unused: when the parish council put the local church up for purchase, as residents, we jumped at the chance to breathe new life into the building. After 2 years of careful planning and a year of conservation, renovation and innovation, we’re finally there with our totally unique holiday home.” Owners, Geoff & Julie
They love
“Sitting on the south-facing patio with a glass of wine, listening to the sheep baa and birds sing as the sun goes down.”
We love
The high vaulted ceilings and vibrant stained-glass windows.

Sorry, no children (except babes in arms). The bedrooms cannot be twinned. You’ll need to drive to pubs, shops and restaurants.

Sustainability.
Walls are plastered with insulating lime plaster, which contains 50% cork. Bespoke secondary glazing eliminates drafts and reduces heat loss. Roof insulation installed by creating false ceilings that retain the appearance of the originals. All modern cement-based materials removed and replaced with traditional lime which allows the building to breathe. Underfloor heating provides the most efficient way to heating the space, supplemented by a modern efficient log burner. Electricity is provided by Ecotricity, Britain’s greenest energy supplier.
