Be still our history-architecture-decor-loving hearts!
This centuries-old converted church is located in the quaint village of Chilcompton, Somerset, England.
Complete with stain-glass windows, vaulted ceilings, and yes, your very own historic graveyard.
This beautiful former chapel is currently for sale for £725,000 (approximately $947,000 USD).
It was renovated and converted in the mid-1980s into a luxurious family home by architectural historian Warwick Rodwell.
Architectural historians should do more projects like these – it’s phenomenal!
Rodwell named his conversion “Downside Old Church”.
Check out the fabulous & highly functional kitchen!
Stunning!
This church-turned home has three bedrooms and one bathroom.
The bedrooms are creatively carved out under the sloped roof with gable windows for exceptional light.
Perhaps the most intriguing thing about this ultra-fascinating property are the headstones in the yard that span back over 200 years!
Prospective buyers would have to be ok with grilling and picnicking next to the long-departed.
Sure it’s not for everyone, but for us archaeological, architectural loving historians, this place is complete divinity!
