This is absolutely stunning1 The owners have done an incredible job. The attention to detail is fantastic. It looks spacious but warm and welcoming. I can imagine my grandchildren coming to stay and running about everywhere exploring! Great job on the video, Tom and Jas. Whoever buys this will be blessed indeed!
This used to be a children's soft play place. We used to always have our birthday parties here, seems crazy to see it all looking so beautiful after the last time we were in there we were go karting around the ground floor and sliding down drop slides upstairs!
Easily the best church conversion I have ever seen. Totally mixed feelings about a large centrally located church being converted into a private residence. It is amazing though
The renovation of this beautiful Church, is amazing, its been done with taste, and in keeping, with the original building, it seems very busy outside with traffic, as you expect in a town centre, and I wonder, about noise at night when people are at pubs etc, although, it did seem quiet inside during the tour. It is sad though, to see, another Church not being used for what it was intended.
Many thanks to you both . You did a great job. For the first time i wish this be my home i wish i can afford it . Really this deserve much more than the listing price.
Wow! How old is that church? Is there any law to protect them? I mean is amazing, a bit scary at night though I wouldn't be alone there haha. It's beautiful but it's so sad that was so abandoned
I love this, and if I had the cash defo be on my shopping list. I thought at 1st they were going to say its split into apartments, can't believe it's that price for the hole church. Don't know why they never went up to the very top of the steeple, can you not get out at the top?
It's amazing and the price is incredibly fair...it would be very cool to live in such an historic building, the details and renovations are very thoughtful and that STAIN GLASS WINDOW!!! is jaw dropping. Dream home in a beautiful seaside town...One of my favorite properties in the 🇬🇧 UK...👏
How can you convert a church into a house? It will always look and feel like a church… The building is exceptional but… it’s doesn’t look like a house! More likely a library or whatever. Great building but… it won’t feel like a house!
Agree Church conversions never work for me, if you split into Apartments its just a box inside an amazing exterior, or as this one its not a house nor a home
Suggestions: 1. Please fix your audio specially when your inside. 2. Put a soft background music. 3. Lengthen your transitions to at least 5-10 secs. 4. Don't keep on moving the camera when the presentor is also moving. Thanks!
I just bought a church myself in Polish mountains. Thinking of what to do with it. It’s not as big as this one but has potential for something really special. Can’t attach a photo, so click on the link below. Any recommendations are welcome.
Pleasant, exotic and beautifully manipulated into a fantastic property that could become a real home for someone. Saddened to think some vandals put fire to this former Church though… No respect!!!
Fantastic, had many a good night out in Torquay, what a beautiful refurb, I would have had bigger sofas in the area as you first go in. Lots of room to fill. But still lovely xx
One of the few successful church conversions I've seen. Wouldn't want to pay their heating bill though! Incidentally, it's a 'tower' - the 'steeple' is just the pointy bit on the top 🙂
That was a totally stunning home! I think one of the best you have featured on the channel to date. I think when I claim my lotto winnings I may have to buy it for myself 😂😂 The restoration team done an amazing job with it! Brilliant!
I think it’s sad to see beautiful & sacred community buildings that should be a place of communal refuge, spirituality and contemplation become misused, abandoned & eventually zoned residential through lack of community involvement or care. It would be great if this was a public hall, museum, library or community building at least but it’s very good too see it restored and cared for all the same. Would be such a beautiful space for musicians or choirs etc too or retreat centres.
I lived in a converted church located in Huddersfield, England several years ago. (I’m an American and a serious Anglophile.) I live 5 to 8 months in England and the rest of the year with my children and grandchildren in the U.S. I absolutely love this renovation and I’m amazed at the speed of the renovation! My late husband and I spent almost a decade renovating our 1880’s Victorian house! (We did all of the work ourselves!) Trinity House is beyond beautiful... If l wasn’t so old, l snap it up, in a New York minuet!
Agreed, anyone in their right mind who has 3.7 million to spend wouldn't buy a place in a back alley behind a strip of bars and clubs in a run down seaside town no matter how nice the house is..
i just know that A LOT of ghost also lives there. hence, they're selling it now. the ambiance isn't good but the architecture was lit. all in all its doesn't give off homey vibes.
I hate seeing these churches hacked up. This is one of the nicest, apart from the naff coloured lights and the problem of living with so many rooms without windows - and the bar is naff. I'd have bookvases lining the walls, for my personal intetests. Why would you want such a huge space dedicated just to drinking? I don't know that I could cope with not having the windows wide open, let alone not existing, in my bedroom. Same with the kitchen. And the lightbulb changes 20' in the air... Nice to visit - but lovely to go home...
DEAR TOM & JAZ, GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIENDS. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE AND THE BEST AND HAPPIEST 2022 OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. I HOPE YOU HAVE THE BEST AND HAPPIEST THANKSGIVING OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE AND THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS 2022 OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. I LOVE YOU. EVERYTHING HAS BEEN A MIRACLE. I LOVE MR. ESPARZA AND ALL OF MY BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS. ( IF WHAT I AM THINKING COMES FROM I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO BLESS YOU WITH YOUR DREAM HOME IN ENGLAND) IT WOULD BE AN INDESCRIBABLE PRIVILEGE AND AN INDESCRIBABLE HONOR TO PAY MY BLESSINGS FORWARD. I FEEL LIKE CRYING. 🙏 SINCERELY PETER
1. Why the CAPS LOCKS???? 2. Why are you wishing them if they "HAD" the best and happiest Christmas of their life, it's only November & HAD is past tense 3. They are British we don't celebrate Thanksgiving.... it's American thing 4. Why so many "ENTIRE LIFE" references?? they are young and have plenty more entire life celebrations to go SINCERELY CHARLES
Lovely place but having lived 5 minutes away all my life, access is not worth the money. Plus, any nice cars left in driveway, drunks will just jump the fence.
How to turn a billionaire into a millionaire, buy a church to live in. The maintenance and cleaning costs will absolutely ruin you financially. But the biggest tragedy is you can never let a fart rip without the whole house hearing lol
It was a church and then it was turned into a funhouse called the rainbow funhouse it was then abandoned and it burned down 3 years later they turned it into this
😳 OMG! Nice, this place would be fit for King Arthur ⚔️ If i buy this🤨, i was just inspired by the floating glowing globe they have in Cambridgeshire Cathedral, 🔮I'm going to make my own version with an extra dimension or two, 🌍 giving it an animated layer to the clouds and the weather, and place it above the center of the hexagon in the great room, and maybe add a rotating moon, then i imagine watching at sunrise or sunset, with all the lights out, (there would also be a shadow on the inside, to reflect the part of the planet facing away from the sun, but during daylight hours that shadow could be turned off, so the whole planet glows, like in Cambridgeshire Cathedral) and you literally have the animated trinity of the earth, moon, and the sun, which uses the real light of the sun as the light source.🤯 Maybe you even have the rotation set on a small computer interface like an Arduino, which rotates the moon to the exact rotation time for the real moon and where it is in real life, you could probably also program it to change rotation speeds faster as well.. and then go back to the real world cycle when you were done fiddling with time.. It would also be good to have a lamp for the Sun's light source, so you could also just fo this in the dark or very low lighting. Oh and maybe an outermost ring divided in twelve parts, marking the zodiac signs.. i realize I'm basically describing a planetarium. 🔮🌍🌌But i would be my own, or whoever ends up purchasing this place might do something similar and it would be their own.. 🧙♂️time will tell.🕰️ 🗝️Plus, anyone could also make a similar smaller version for an average bedroom or room.. this place just seems like it's the best place to make the first.. Just a thought.💡
Pretty wild, little bit sacrilege. Quite the exterior presence :) I think I would have avoided the old furniture and brown wood. Kept it modern throughout, particularly the bedrooms. The arches can work with fairly modern architecture. I wonder if modern light oak flooring would work better than the dark gloss tile. If it burned, I'm assuming all the brown wood work is newly installed so they could have gone modern. I get going churchlike but I'm guessing modern/romantic would have worked better as a residence. Avoid the beige color. Maybe a huge dining table centrally in the hall. Certainly room for a big wedding and the priest can feel right at home :) with the right interior design, it just might work.
@@DanFrederiksen Firstly there's no God, we kill during wartime and abort babies but this is what you write a paragraph about? Grow up! If it wasn't for the new owners the building would be a pile of ruble which is exactly what you want rite? Get a life!
@@IDONTLIKETHATSHIT ye of little faith. Reality is far more complex than in your ignorant arrogance. if you weren't a philistine you might appreciate the fact that it isn't possible to make a machine feel pain.

I'm a very promiscuous man, who's never stopped at having sex with women in any venue, but even I have my red-lines; even I can't desecrate a house of God with sex and partying, or even turn a house of God into a home. I love the other properties, but this simply isn't my cup of tea.
I fucking hate this. The exterior is stunning but the interior is stripped of all character. The harsh overhead lighting isn't helping, either. There is so little design in here. They really should have hired someone with a stronger vision to transform the space.
It’s a great concept but sorry to say poorly executed. Let’s start with the cheap ceramic flooring covering the entire expanse of the ground floor. And the equally cheap looking brass light fixture in that one bedroom that is laughably so high above the floor. Did they not realize there exist chains and longer electrical cords to suspend it at a height that will actually illuminate the room? In addition to the cheap flooring the large open area of the main level looks like a hotel lobby or event space, not a home. Rather than convert the church to a single family home I would have divided the space up into large apartments. They’d be on a much more livable scale I’d put an elevator in the bell tower to provide access to a resident common area, and leave the back of the church as a common party room with that spectacular backdrop of stained glass windows. And let’s face it a building such as this isn’t going to be cheap to heat, air condition or maintain. Better to share those costs between 4 or 5 owners instead.

The best church conversion I've ever seen!
It was actually an abandoned fun house before it was this
would love to know their heating bills in winter
This used to be a children's soft play place. We used to always have our birthday parties here, seems crazy to see it all looking so beautiful after the last time we were in there we were go karting around the ground floor and sliding down drop slides upstairs!
The team restoring this church after the 2019 fire have done such an amazing job I'm lost for words. Absolutely amazing.
Easily the best church conversion I have ever seen. Totally mixed feelings about a large centrally located church being converted into a private residence. It is amazing though
The renovation of this beautiful Church, is amazing, its been done with taste, and in keeping, with the original building, it seems very busy outside with traffic, as you expect in a town centre, and I wonder, about noise at night when people are at pubs etc, although, it did seem quiet inside during the tour. It is sad though, to see, another Church not being used for what it was intended.
I'd pay more. The place is absolutely stunning!
I agree. It seems under priced.
Yeah this is one of those rare times when I was thinking, they have to be losing money on this.
Amazing, love to live here, wonderful
Many thanks to you both . You did a great job. For the first time i wish this be my home i wish i can afford it . Really this deserve much more than the listing price.
Wow! How old is that church? Is there any law to protect them? I mean is amazing, a bit scary at night though I wouldn't be alone there haha.
It's beautiful but it's so sad that was so abandoned
It’s crazy it used to be an indoor play area which was left abandoned after a fire
This house is very cheap omg !! This building and inside disain is absolutely amazing. I'm thinking is house £10 million .
Great video Thanks 😍🤗
That place would be spooky asf in the night! I bet it's haunted as sh*t!
The most amazing home that I have ever seen on RUclips and it’s in such a brilliant location.
You guys are great, if you come to Northampton, why don’t you also have a spin off filming other people’s house’s you can start with mine ❤
This place is wild, I love it. They did an amazing job on this.
…WAUW… factor 10; only heating scare’s me off…….
Stunning guys best church conversion i seen
Nice conversation, but £3,000,000 for the house and £700,000 for heating
I love this, and if I had the cash defo be on my shopping list. I thought at 1st they were going to say its split into apartments, can't believe it's that price for the hole church.
Don't know why they never went up to the very top of the steeple, can you not get out at the top?
Amazing home. I used to go there when it was a gym. I would worry about all the lager louts passing by of a night time.
It's amazing and the price is incredibly fair...it would be very cool to live in such an historic building, the details and renovations are very thoughtful and that STAIN GLASS WINDOW!!! is jaw dropping. Dream home in a beautiful seaside town...One of my favorite properties in the 🇬🇧 UK...👏
This should be worth more
Fabulous renovation, pure indulgent, can you imagine the heating bill though!!
Must cost a fortune to heat and light - particularly with the high ceilings. Not for me.
How can you convert a church into a house?

You guys have the same style of Matt & Summer. Thank you for showing this incredible property, great job guys!
Stunning! Thank you.
Wowww. Incredible! I’ll take it 😁
Spotted this on youtube abandoned and fire damaged in an awful state, glad it was saved and restored
Dangit! Everytime I think I've made up my mind on my dream home, you guys drop another video. I could absolutely live here. I love the enthusiasm 💘
Same 😂
Fantastic, had many a good night out in Torquay, what a beautiful refurb, I would have had bigger sofas in the area as you first go in. Lots of room to fill. But still lovely xx
I want to throw a party there and have my friends stay... but i dont have that many friends lol

I agree with you, but this place had a fire and I'm guessing has significant money spent on it. Better it lives on instead of crumbling into ruin.
@@user-jt1jv8vl9r I agree with you too. Better to see it loved and looked after
Or it could help house the homeless 🤷🏽♀️, sick of greedy capitalists taking everything for themselves
I totally agree with you.
We used it for years as an indoor gothic adventure playground.much used and loved by families all playing together.

Not sure what personality type would wish to live there but it is remarkable.
Beautuful yes
How do they change the light bulbs when they go out at that height? And how do they clean the windows?
Woaahhhh this is so cool!!!
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL INTERIOR. STUNNING WORK AND EXCELLENT. 🙂👍✝️🙏🏾
Wowow, beautiful. Grandiouse ! But it is at the end of the world Torquay ! 😭😭😭.
Simply amazzzzing ….
Innovations have no bounds
STUNNING!!!!!
Wow what an amazing property! Well worth the price - somehow manages to look cosy despite the sheer size of it, fantastic renovation!
I would buy it if I had the money ,it is beautiful
This would make and incredibile hotel 😊
Saints row eat ur heart out this is amazing 👏 😍 🙌
HI, Can I ask why you dont show the dressing rooms. I would love to see inside.
How do you change those lights in the main room? No way I'd go up that ladder😃
The price is outrageous. How did they manage to pull this off with such a tiny budget?
Transformed a church nave into a psychedelic dance floor...You are going to hell my friend...🤣😂
That is a bit of me. Only problem is the 3.7mil.
Lovely house but rough area of torbay
Agreed, anyone in their right mind who has 3.7 million to spend wouldn't buy a place in a back alley behind a strip of bars and clubs in a run down seaside town no matter how nice the house is..
is your brother coming back to London England
i just know that A LOT of ghost also lives there. hence, they're selling it now. the ambiance isn't good but the architecture was lit. all in all its doesn't give off homey vibes.
Don’t be so foolish.
You pay more for ghosts
Divine!
i dont know i like it .. all you need is a dj to go with the organ player lol

I remember this when I think it was a children’s play area! Do you know anything about this guys?
Yes its had quite a history! A snooker club, kids play area and of course a Church!! ⛪️
Lovely place but having lived 5 minutes away all my life, access is not worth the money. Plus, any nice cars left in driveway, drunks will just jump the fence.
Love it want it if I win the lottery
Must be a nightmare to heat this space!
Looks like a great event venue and hotel. Could host a wedding with the bridal party m staying there.
Love fram pakistan
Must cost a lot to heat!
interesting idea, but no way it is worth 4 mio GBP

Question are there graves near or on the premises???
It was a church and then it was turned into a funhouse called the rainbow funhouse it was then abandoned and it burned down 3 years later they turned it into this
I explored this when it was abandoned, you should of seen it then, was crazy inside, Check out my video of it before they rebuilt it
THE RAINBOW FUNHOUSE
😳 OMG! Nice, this place would be fit for King Arthur ⚔️

Its a shame that less and less people going to church now.
Me encantó, lo malo el precio ☹️😢
Whilst amazing to look at, I can't imagine it with the lights off during the night , I think the majority of people would not want this house
In rip off London, this amount would get you a 2 bed basement flat in Kensington...
It's scary. 😳🙄❓⁉️❓
Already know corona time😂
This guy looks like another Vlogger. Are they related?
Good luck with heating it.
I would buy that in a second if it were closer to London
Nearer to London X the price though Jake
Absolutely beautiful - mostly. The high gloss floor is absolutely awful. Both the color and gloss is just bad.
It's sad that the church turned into someone's home.
Pretty wild, little bit sacrilege. Quite the exterior presence :) I think I would have avoided the old furniture and brown wood. Kept it modern throughout, particularly the bedrooms.

I would rather want to have a normal luxury mansion.
I fucking hate this. The exterior is stunning but the interior is stripped of all character. The harsh overhead lighting isn't helping, either. There is so little design in here. They really should have hired someone with a stronger vision to transform the space.
It’s a great concept but sorry to say poorly executed. Let’s start with the cheap ceramic flooring covering the entire expanse of the ground floor. And the equally cheap looking brass light fixture in that one bedroom that is laughably so high above the floor. Did they not realize there exist chains and longer electrical cords to suspend it at a height that will actually illuminate the room?
In addition to the cheap flooring the large open area of the main level looks like a hotel lobby or event space, not a home.
Rather than convert the church to a single family home I would have divided the space up into large apartments. They’d be on a much more livable scale
I’d put an elevator in the bell tower to provide access to a resident common area, and leave the back of the church as a common party room with that spectacular backdrop of stained glass windows.
And let’s face it a building such as this isn’t going to be cheap to heat, air condition or maintain. Better to share those costs between 4 or 5 owners instead.
