Has anyone ever lived in a church conversion?
Discussion
We live in a Methodist chapel conversion. Built in 1850 and extended 1909, it has solid brick walls with no cavity. The people who converted it put the insulation inside the property and then created new plasterboard walls everywhere.
We can still see beams in the ceiling and still have double height spaces.
The original windows are only single glazed but we have fitted secondary glazing on most these now.
We have gas central heating which works well enough and also have fitted a wood burner to give us a fall back solution and a lovely focal point in the lounge.
We absolutely love it and are so glad we bought it.
It's a good balance of Chapel to modern house. Some conversions are all church and not a home while others go too far and look like any modern house once inside.
