The Old Church Bungalow

The Old Church Bungalow in Derbyshire has always been a unique property, dating right back to 1927 when it was built from the remains of a demolished Derby church! It’s nestled in 2 acres of picturesque woodland right in the heart of Derbyshire. The current resident purchased the 2-bedroom bungalow in 1978, as it was a perfect setting and location to keep their pet dogs. When acquiring the property, a damp proof course was installed, but since then there’s been no further renovations or maintenance of the property. Over the last 45 years, the property has suffered weather damage including extensive rotting of the roof and timber windows, doors and fascias. Being ‘off gas’ and heated primarily by oil, it’s been expensive to keep warm and so therefore has often felt cold and damp.
