Stunning Derbyshire church goes on the market for £1.2M after being converted into luxury home

The 150-year-old chapel has been transformed into a luxury five-bedroom home whilst retaining its original features including beautiful stained glass windows and stone archways.

The historic Grade-II listed building in Mickleover, is set within an acre of grounds, which includes its own Victorian orangery.

Inside, the property boasts open-plan areas, five reception rooms, a mezzanine cinema room with floating glass floor, a gym and a bar across 6,000sq ft.

The dining area even centres around the old baptismal font - giving a unique addition to its holy character alongside its modern makeover.

The Church House has gone on the market with estate agents Fine and Country with a guide price of £1,250,000.

A spokesperson for the agents said: "This imposing Grade II former church has been converted to create a fabulous contemporary 5-bedroom family home.

"Set within one acre of grounds featuring beautiful lawned areas, mature trees and a stunning Victorian orangery.

"The property has been lovingly converted to create a fabulous family home.

"Enjoying a southerly open aspect with views overlooking the sports field and local golf club, the grounds offer both privacy and a sense of open views.

"There are various seating areas perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining.

"The lawned gardens have well-stocked flower beds and include a stunning Victorian orangery with rainwater storage and paved flooring, which makes this a special place to relax and unwind."

The spacious downstairs of the property features stunning oak flooring and underfloor heating while a stainless steel staircase leads to the first floor.

Upstairs there's three double bedrooms and en suite bathrooms featuring a jacuzzi bath and walk in showers.

At the end of the hallway and accessed via glass and oak double doors is the open plan living room and dining area.

A Fine and Country spokesperson added: "Ideal for entertaining friends and family, the living room with its oak wooden floors and steel columns has a warm and cosy feel, whereas the dining area located via the impressive stone and brick archway gives a huge sense of grandeur with stunning stained-glass window, original stone baptismal font and tiled flooring.
