A Couple Bought An Old, Abandoned Church… And What They Turned It Into Has Everyone Talking

ll happy couples have big dreams of their ideal home. Some imagine a cabin in the woods. Some want a victorian style house, others a condo by the beach. Well, in this case, a couple decided to go for something a little different. They purchased the St. Nicholas Church, located in Kyloe, Northumberland UK. This church was built in 1790 and abandoned soon after; that is, until it was purchased by said couple. What they created was a masterpiece of livable antiquity.

The property has 1 acre of land, 4 or 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 reception rooms, two kitchens, and an open concept living area. The headstones didn’t dissuade the buyers at all…

Notice the dining room is just a little further down. Plenty of room for a couple of families. However, it may be a little awkward considering…

I like the guest room. It’s just unique enough with the right amount of cozy.

The staircase has old world charm with the modern convenience of a storage space underneath.

One of my favorite rooms is the kitchen. The way they blended antiquity and modern style is perfect.
