01 / Make yourself at home

History outside.
A home within.

A historic 1876 stone church, thoughtfully transformed into a modern architectural retreat. Across 6,400 square feet, grand shared spaces give way to quiet bedrooms and intimate corners.

Gather by the fire. Linger over breakfast. Watch the light move across the stone.

Afternoon light through a tall window onto a cushioned window seat, a moulded wooden chair, and a desk
A slower rhythm. A different perspective.

02 / Considered comforts

Nothing ordinary.
Entirely a home.

Historic character, modern comfort, and space to make the day your own.

03 / The art of staying in

Room for the unhurried.

A calm bedroom with white linen, a bedside lamp, and a doorway through to a bookshelf

Recharge.

Four bedrooms, each part of the original architecture. Three on the ground floor; a fourth in the cathedral-ceilinged loft.

A black clawfoot tub with a towel draped over its edge, on patterned tiles beside a tall window

A moment to yourself.

Original clawfoot tub, a concrete-and-glass shower, and the natural texture of exposed bedrock in the master bathroom.

A dining table and moulded wooden chairs between two tall windows under exposed timber beams

Let mornings linger.

An open kitchen and living room, with warm oak, concrete, original beams, and mid-century furniture.
