A former church hall has been given a stunning make over, the site of beetle drives, Brownie meetings and jumble sales into a sleek and contemporary space.
Church View occupies a convenient position within the centre of Stone near Kidderminster, Worcestershire, opposite St Mary’s Parish Church – the inspiration behind its name.
The hall is now a thoroughly modern family home offering reception space, a high tech kitchen and three bedrooms, each with their own bath or shower room.
High ceilings and full length folding windows create light and airy spaces which are ideal for relaxing or entertaining in and allow easy access to the gardens.
Steps lead up to a stylish vestibule entrance with glazed entrance door. Inside is a central hallway with storage and a guest cloakroom with toilet and basin.
There is Imperiali porcelain tiling to the hallway floor and through the open access into the Hatt kitchen and breakfast room.
The kitchen features sleek storage units with Corian work surfaces, an integral washing machine, integral dishwasher, wine fridge and double oven. It has a separate utility and there are folding glazed doors from the breakfast area to a railed deck outside.
Two open accesses from the kitchen and from the hallway lead into the main living space, creating a sense of flow between these areas.

The former school house that sits opposite St Mary’s Church in Stone has also undergone a conversion.
Once a seat of learning for village children, Manor View is now a striking four/five bedroom family home that combines original features with high spec new additions.
The most notable reminders of its period past are the exposed arched trusses to the first floor and triangular topped windows.
It is a substantial property with traditional timber beam effect to the outside.
Inside the house has a reception hall with wood look tiling to the floor plus a door to a cloakroom with toilet and basin.
To the right there is a dining room. This could be used as a downstairs bedroom as it benefits from its own shower room.
On the left of the hall there is a substantial sitting room with wide folding glazed doors to the grounds.
At the end of the hallway is a stunning Hatt kitchen with a comprehensive array of units to three sides. In the centre of the room there is an island with gas fired range cooker and floating cooker hood/lights above.
The kitchen has a Villeroy and Boch double Belfast sink, a wine fridge, an integral washing machine and dishwasher and an American style fridge freezer.
There are Imperiali porcelain floor tiles to the floor of the kitchen as well as in all of the bathrooms.
There is open access from the kitchen to a breakfast area with folding glazed doors to the garden. Another door leads from here into a utility.
On the first floor the four bedrooms are all, doubles, three of them being particularly large.
The main bedroom has an en suite with corner bath, separate shower, toilet and basin.
Bedroom two has its own dressing area and en suite toilet and basin.
Bedrooms three and four have a Jack and Jill shared en suite with shower, toilet and basin.
There are fine rural views from the master bedroom.
Outside there is extensive parking on the gravel area to the front of the house.
At the back there is a substantial garden with patio area wrapping round the house, lawn, fencing and natural hedging to the borders.
Like its near neighbour Church View, Manor View is in a convenient position in the centre of Stone village.
