I found this house while stumbling and love it. I could absolutely live here but I wonder, what do you think? Can’t you just see your kids playing hide and seek in the graveyard? But seriously, If I could have bought this I would have. The exterior of the house is mostly untouched, but they did add the skylights in the roof. As far as the interior goes, the few articles I found on the house were a little rude about the furnishings, or the fact that it feels to churchy (uh, duh…). I want to hear what you think. I would probably change the furnishings a bit but I think the churchiness is what attracts me to it. My opinion is that if you take that away you take away half the charm! I love the stained glass in this! One of my favorites (above)…. sigh. I love this staircase.Text from Swipe Life
A nondescript exterior and a yard dominated by headstones give no indication of the residential nature of this historic church in Kyloe, Northumberland. A couple decided to purchase and readapt the structure, investing nearly three times the purchase price into renovations over the course of several years. The exterior remains mostly untouched, save for skylights running the length of the roof. Inside, the owners took a similar approach. Restoration is more prevalent than renovation, with original stained glass windows throughout, and repurposed church fixtures abounding. Much of the original seating in the church was refinished and placed throughout the home, and unused wood and building materials were fashioned into a dramatic staircase leading from the main living space to an upper level library. The choice to live in a church is an unorthodox one, but this home’s owners managed to salvage a structure that might have otherwise been doomed to deterioration.
