It inspires me tobuy old historical building with priceless stories...
The house within a house is perfect.
Stunning. Would definitely recommend a coffee/tea station & mini fridge in the bedroom for those cold mornings, cozy evenings..
I wanted to say at first glance why would you tear up a church. But then after watching how you enhance the beauty of the church. I am so happy that you were the ones to rehabilitate the building the old and mixed perfectly with modern architecture. Thank you for sharing.❤❤❤❤
Grand to see people giving history new life.
I've often dreamt of living in a renovated church. I was a bit disappointed not to see what was done in the tower.
What a beautiful makeover! Stunning.
400,000 for this seems like a bargain and not pricey at all. I don't think you could touch twice the price to do that here in the states. This is terrific. I would commandeer the tower room for a small library and reading room.
Great work, beautifully done. I would cover the exposed wooden buttresses with metal flashing to keep the rain away from that wood for a while longer.
Copper sheeting would age so well here. The patina would enhance the look & preserve the stone walls and the wooden beams
Truly the deepest of respect for this undertaking and the result. Hope they enjoy their labor of love
Stunning
Lovely final project. The respect this couple showed to the building was unusual for this time in history. Thousands of people have married, bene mourned, babies baptised, people of all ages worshiping...Hymns and Christmas Carols lifted to the rafters for over a century. This was beautiful.
yes, my feeling, in my 100 year old former chapel
Absolutely beautiful!
at least the neighbors are quiet....😆
Most of the time ;)
😂😂😂
Maybe
The roof removed from that courtyard makes the wood buttresses exposed to rain. Those will rot away!
Eventually, wrapping in copper should do the trick.
@caseyflorida No more than any wooden structure exposed to the outdoors. They were originally painted and can be kept painted.
I admire your courage in taking on and sticking with this project as some of the structural issues I think would have scared me to death! Congratulations on a wonderful project completed!
I love this home so much and the wonderful amazing couple who took this restoration on! WELL DONE to the craftsmen who did the work, and the architect who drew up the plans. All around beautiful. This couple deserves this home, after living in a caravan for 2 years. Bless their family.
Both Sean and Debs have really proven themselves capable, having handled such a magnificent renovation, effectively on time and on budget. I think this has to be one of Charlie Luxton's all-time favourites. 🎉
31:22 It surely does, the opened courtyard not only gives privacy.
But, a Beautiful Serenity. A+ ⭐️
Please do a part 2 when they work on the rest of it!!!!
Brilliant! Stunning! Glorious...sumptuous...charming...cozy...incredibly tasteful without being stuffy. On time and on budget by a lovely couple who saved a treasure. Bravo! I'm going to have to rewatch the ending with pauses just to take it all in.
36:09 It certainly is.
I wish the Both of You many years of Health, Wealth, and Happiness.
Lovely family and story. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I feel like the spirits of the people buried in the cemetery nearby helped this family out. The results are awesome.
Yeah like ok lol
Reminds me of a small castle, with its own chapel. Kind of Medieval/modern. Very nice.
Wow…..nicely done….love the water feature area….so perfect.
Truly beautiful and unique!!!
What a beautiful building! Kudos to this couple and others who save precious buildings all over England. I really admire the work ethic to finish a lovely home for themselves. Cheers from Canada.
love the “ shoulds “ from all of you, who don’t own a church, and haven ‘t renovated one ( yes, i live in a small chapel...yes, even minor upgrades, and reno takes experts and $$$ )
Beautifully done. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉.
Absolutely stunning! Love this so much.
Simply stunning! A work of love and creativity. I also love the courtyard & bedroom - it's all lovely. Everyone seems concerned about exposed buttresses - I'm sure they have a plan!! Best wishes🎉❤!!
It’s a pity that the state does not have enough money to maintain and restore historical architecture.
There is a ton of historical buildings supported by the state. There IS a limit. It is wonderful to see that there are people like this with the money and the vision to restore these lovely structures. It's happening in quite a few countries. France has a lot of chateau restorations going on and it's lovely.
Absolutely amazing renovation. Love the stone still worn with age. Creative blend of old and new. Including the necessary red post!
GREAT!!! Another wonderful rebuilding of historic homes like Restoration Man!!!
Fascinating project. Would have liked to hear about plans for the tower and any other spaces left to work on.
Impressive !!!! I love the way they kept some parts almost untouched, showing even the years of neglect.
As you were making the windows and I saw the forest green color, I thought, “I bet he’s going to shingle the upper part.”
I shudder at those wooden buttresses in the courtyard being exposed to the elements. If any of those fail after being exposed to the elements, the entire place would come down.
I’m quite sure as much attention they’ve paid to structural detail.
They’ll continue to keep an eye on it.
BRILLIANT!! Totally fascinating......
WOW!
I'm still stressed about those exposed timbers. This is an interesting build, but they should have kept the leaded glass windows and just put permanent insulated storms over it. You always want this kind of thing to be undone in a historic structure.
Disagree. The leaded glass would give too much religious overtones.
I disagree, what is more beautiful than God's good light? The leaded Glas was a necessity since glass was poured or spun and large panes were impossible. The amount of light is astounding!
Their house, their choice.
Insulated windows over stained glass.
Further deteriorates the original leaded stained glass.
@@marionchase-kleeves8311🙄
Absolutely amazing accomplishments!!! So beautiful congradulations and enjoy! Thank you for sharing God bless i am sure their are good spirits there!
Truly incredible feat you accomplished. Beautiful home.
Stunning and Brilliant. Without a doubt, one of the best I've seen! You should be so proud of yourselves.
Those exposed timber flying buttresses hopefully has some nice flashing and marine grade sealant on them and have continued maintenance schedule attached to them
Absolutely love this
Congratulations, your home is wonderful.
I think they should have a nice expresso machine upstairs in their bedroom
Very Tartarian, Bellisemo!
I wished they framed those.beautiful columns with glass.instead of encasing it within the glass wall frame but then the bedrooms size would become much smaller!❤
At least they saved a building before it was lost. 😊
33:12 As the kitchen is the central location of celebrations and Holiday Memories.
Truly amazing and I am pleased for them. My only thought was dealing with all of those stairs throughout....as they age it would seem impossible (perhaps an elevator is forthcoming.)
Needs to get window installers to REMOVE WINDOW TAGS! TACKY!
I'm jealous, but Relieved I dont have to do the cleaning!
How do you vacum the ceiling at that height!! What an atmosphere for a home!!
You need a coffee machine in your bathroom❤ beautiful build❤
Leaving the wood buttress exposed 😮 they have to be iron now the walls of the main structure is in danger
Lovely!
Wow,the owners is totally extraordinary person,personally i do love the final building.its look beautiful but beside that they have collections of gravestones i their backyard
Lovely! What about the outside, what did they do to the cemetery?
Would be ver easy to put a free standing elevator in this house.
How terribly creepy to live in a home surrounded by the dead.
Billions of humans have lived and died; most of us live surrounded by the dead, cemeteries or no.
❤this
What a spectacular video of an amazing process I am now a subscriber to your channel and I am looking forward to so many more amazing episodes.
How do you heat it?
I'm curious if there were ghosts at the grave yard 😂
That place is haunted or is going to be. That is absolutely mental. Nice work but MENTAL!!
Very interesting concept. Not sure if I could live in an old church. If you don't mind me asking - what software did you use in the 3D concepts?
Am I the only one who noticed the music playing around 36:00 was from The Sims?
How do you incorporate the tomb stones into you exterior living space?
I knew I was meant to watch this show, when I saw the Westies!!!!
Ive been jn search of a (worthy) church..
Styles don’t match or fit. Looks a bit oogly upstairs.
36:43 Isn't that the Sims Song for building?
Image if the chappel was haunted lol
love Sean's rusticated walls best. Sorry Debs!
I feel like the main part of the church with that amazing architecture was left like a space the nobody uses nobody goes there, I think it would be amazing the main living room there with a big chandelier as a main focus on that huge space, hanging from a metal support due to the delicate ceiling, and the other living room as a tv room that is more private or a garage/man cave, also the expose wood beams that are structural features is not good. Another thing is, how is it that a massive house the boys have to share bedroom in a bunk bed. And I think the outdoors are not even taken in consideration as part of the design. And what happened with the tower? That could be the most impressive feature of the project and was left out 😢
I would design the interior with more rustic undertones huge oil paintings. Greek statues the who 9 yards
solar panels.... in England....🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
This renovation must have cost much more than 400K
Major changes to a religious site in the middle of 2000 graves of people that loved the church the most? Wasn't that a movie???
"They're Heeeeeere!"
Goerge did these already
I appreciate the show! However, I would have really appreciated information about the historic church, such as the year(s) it was built.
Watch again, it was mentioned when it was build, i believe 1850 someting but not sure.
They gave the history at the beginning.
The restoration of the church is magnificent. However, their taste in the interior decor boggles the mind, and NOT in a good way. I absolutely wept when I saw that hideous red post in the kitchen. Then I stopped watching. I couldn't take anymore. But hey, it's their house. None of my business how they want to live.
Well, it's a sure bet that no one will accidentally run into the red post and knock themselves silly.
Well done. Bargain ;-)
I'm happy for them...but that place would be creepy to live in
Old creepy cemetery in the yard, that is a big no for me.
@@CarlaLR74But the neighbors are so quiet ! 😊
It's depressing that there is an abandoned chapel in the first place
poręcz na schodach i balustrada jest zupelnie nie pasująca do tego budynku zupelnie tak z dupy,powinna być piękna drewniana poręcz,kolor rożowy to totalna porażka i pustka malo przytulnie. No ale może się jeszcze urządzają wiem że wszystkiego na raz się nie da.
living in a graveyard ?
weird
No offense intended, but this is a very weird building for a home. It is too massive to be cosy to me.
If you believe that water purification house looks Californian, you are delusional. I have lived in California my whole life. No one here lives in anything like that.
something about it i dont like.
It should illegal to change the internal design in the former churches!!! People just ruin its beauty!!!
That would limit buildings like this to demolition unless a congregation has very deep pockets !
Great idea very badly executed.
i’m sorry but they ruined it
