This historic St Nicholas Church in Kyloe, Northumberland was purchased by a couple with plans to renovate over the course of several years. The exterior remains mostly untouched as it was mostly restoration more than renovation. The original stained glass windows remain throughout. Much of the original seating in the church was refinished and placed throughout the home, and unused wood and building materials were fashioned into a dramatic staircase leading from the main living space to an upper level library. The choice to live in a church is an unorthodox one, but this home's owners managed to salvage a structure that might have otherwise been doomed to deterioration.
