£1,575,000, not particularly nice inside needs complete redecoration to drag it out of the 1980s, does come with 26 acres - http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/prope... could be made to be very nice though.
Those horrible blue carpets can easily be sorted but you wouldn't want to live that close to the dual carriageway.
The relentless noise would drive you crackers.

... and back in the real world that's a £650k house at best.

It does doesn't it. Cheaper area I guess, easily commutable to Worcester, Stratford, Leamington, Gaydon et al.

A lot of the land behind it has been used for gravel quarrying in the past - not sure whether the quarry will get any bigger in future. Shame; as you drive down the lane to Broome you can see how the landscape has been affected. There's a quarry entrance further south down Tothall Lane, though the trucks wouldn't come past this house.

However, I don't think that massively hits the price; that's just the sort of price you pay when there's no easy commute to London. It's not actually detached, though, and the garden is all at the front of the property.

It's not detached unlike the description says

This is attached at the back - https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.180801,-1.902374...

Spin around and you have the primary school parking outside too.

This recently completed, featured on George Clarke's Amazing Places when it was half done last year.

Lots of trades owed lots of money.

Another example of a church absolutely not working for a residential conversion layout wise. Im not even going to comment on the interior finishing! vomit

Someone on here bought a church conversion and it remains the only good one I have ever seen.

99.9% of them are awful.

So the Orangery is the covered alley in photo 16, the windows on the opposite side belonging to the house (former Sunday school - https://chapelhouseharrogate.com/history/a-renovat... next door here - https://www.google.com/maps/@54.0004216,-1.5359184...

also on entering I would have thought an open corridor between the two "boudoirs" into the drawing room would have been better, I don't think they would have been original rooms, would they?

I hadn't appreciated that they are basically corridors until you mentioned that. It's an awful layout, and there's a photo of the gents' boudoir to demonstrate it too.

If one could pick that up and put it in 30 acres, I would love that.
