The Property
Originally constructed in 1846 and brought back to life through an exacting six-year restoration, St Paul’s Church is a highly individual Grade II listed home of rare scale and dramatic architectural quality. Designed to preserve the essence of the original building while introducing exacting modern standards, this high-specification conversion offers flexible living space carefully planned across three floors. Underfloor heating runs throughout the property, discreetly integrated beneath a range of finishes to provide year-round comfort. Set within a discreet cluster of former estate buildings, the church enjoys a private position with sweeping views over open countryside and the adjoining paddock included in the sale.

The main hall, once the church’s nave, now forms a dramatic open-plan living space where soaring gothic arches and double-height windows are grounded by warm oak flooring and considered contemporary detailing. The layout has been thoughtfully designed to create distinct yet fluid zones, allowing the space to function comfortably at both an everyday and impressive scale. The bespoke kitchen includes a substantial island, integrated appliances and generous storage, all finished to a high standard. A relaxed seating area occupies the former chancel, while the sanctuary beyond provides a striking dining space framed by carved stonework and original period features. Elsewhere on this level is a cloakroom, boot room and utility, along with the original bell tower and boiler room.

At one end of the building, a large, vaulted studio space enjoys independent access via glazed doors that open onto the courtyard. Bright, open and thoughtfully configured, it currently serves as a yoga lounge and well-being venue, but could equally suit a creative workspace, gallery, consultancy or private hire. Adjacent to the studio is a versatile room currently used as a study/gym, which could be readily adapted to suit a variety of needs. With generous proportions, high ceilings and a tranquil outlook, these interlinked spaces offer remarkable flexibility without compromising the integrity of the home. 

Accommodation is arranged across three levels, offering flexibility for multigenerational living or guest use. On the mid-level are two well-proportioned bedrooms, each with its own en-suite. Also on this floor is a further generous bedroom with a private lounge area, en-suite bathroom and access to an outdoor balcony. With its own independent entrance, this suite can either be fully integrated into the main accommodation or used as a self-contained annexe, ideal for visiting family, extended stays or potential income. The principal suite occupies the top floor, complete with vaulted ceilings, arched windows on both sides, a spacious dressing room and a beautifully appointed en-suite with freestanding bath and walk-in shower.

For those seeking to explore the building’s full potential, there may be scope to extend the accommodation further. The original bell tower offers possibilities for conversion, while the expansive roof space could support an additional floor (subject to securing the necessary permissions).

Externally
The property is set behind electric gates in landscaped private grounds, with a gravel driveway and ample parking for residents and guests alike. To the rear, the remains of the original aisle have been reimagined as a striking open-air courtyard garden complete with gothic columns, creating a dramatic yet inviting space for outdoor entertaining. A raised seating area is framed by mature planting and stone boundary walls, offering privacy and shelter. Beyond that, an enclosed paddock provides further scope for amenity use, recreation or smallholding, bordered by open countryside and far-reaching rural views. 

Agents Note
The graveyard surrounding the church is private, and the new owner can allow access to members of the public at their own discretion.
