Couple in 70s turn £175k Cotswolds church into £700k home

A couple in their 70s transformed a derelict 160-year-old church in the Cotswolds into a stylish two-bedroom holiday home. After buying it for £175,000, they spent £370,000 on the renovation, tackling damp, structural problems, conservation rules and a failing roof. The property now features a suspended glass bedroom pod, luxury bathrooms and restored Victorian details.
