They’ve given themselves just sixty weeks to turn a cold, draughty church that leaks heat, into a luxury holiday let, so well insulated it will require little or no heating.


It’s a hugely ambitious project that could see their budget disappear through the building’s vast roof. But if they succeed, this will be the first time in the world a former church has been converted into a home which meets the rigorous Passive House standards.
