Here is the church, here is the steeple, open the doors… and walk right in to your beautiful new home! What may surprise you most about this unique home is that the conversion was done with the goal to make the 200+ year old building as energy efficient as possible. An interview with the owner in The Courier indicates that despite the high ceilings and square footage, the building uses less energy than his own bungalow. Vaulted ceilings, tall windows flooded with light, and even an enclosed flat within the property make this true character property one to be desired.
Constructed by John Wilson in 1788, the church is pictured below at it’s 150th anniversary in 1938. Those with an interest in history may be interested to read more from the family website of bonniewilliam.com.
