A Couple Buys This Old, Abandoned Church. What They Do Inside? I Screamed!
We’ve seen some pretty incredible home renovations but the one you’re about to see is my new favorite.
The St. Nicholas Church was old and abandoned, sitting on a plot of land in Kyloe, Northumberland. For years, the church remained in poor condition. It was built in the 1790s. The yard is full of headstones. Considering these facts, you’d never know this historic church keeps a gorgeous secret inside.
After one couple fell in love with the church, they decided to buy it and move in. They restored key elements, like the vaulted ceilings and original stained glass windows, and they invested time and money to maintain the structure while re-adapting the interior to give it a modern home atmosphere.
The exterior remains intact, except for skylights running the length of the roof. Original stained glass windows throughout and repurposed church fixtures abound, and 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.
While making a home out of an old church may sound crazy to many people, this couple managed to save the structure from deterioration and create something beautiful in the process.
