From the outside, the stunning property looks just like a traditional church from the Worcestershire countryside.

But on the inside, the 19th century property – named Chancel House – is the picture of modern living.

Honouring its original purpose, the former church’s stained glass windows remain intact, and doorways throughout the property are arch-shaped.

A vaulted ceiling in the house’s central atrium also allows light to shine through – from the top of the five-story property to its ground floor.

The stunning property has been recognised with a Civic Trust Award, which is handed to buildings which meet the criteria of having “outstanding architecture, planning and design in the built environment".

The windows are part of the original building, as well as exposed stone walling and pitch pine beams which are all remnants of the 150-year-old architecture.

The front door is situated on the ground floor, along with a guest bedroom with a brick vaulted ceiling and en suite bathroom.

The house also boasts a reception hall on the first floor, along with a store room, cloakroom, utility room and a large study.

The property’s main living space, kitchen and dining area are on the second floor, reaching up to a large skylight at the apex of the roof.

The master bedroom suite sits on the third floor, and has a balcony overlooking the main living space, with a further bedroom on the fourth floor.
