A former church tower has been transformed into a stunning seven-storey home – and is now deemed as ‘one of the most unique conversions in the UK’.
St James Tower, located in the centre of Cardiff, South Wales, is now a residence carved from the Church of St James the Great.
It has been restored and redeveloped by current custodians into a seven-storey home – blending Victorian architecture with modern-day designs.
Once a place of worship, the tower is now on the market for nearly £800,000.
According to estate agent Jeffrey Ross, the unusual property is ‘one of the most unique conversions’ in the country.
It offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a toilet, a formal dining room and generous living area.
Described as a ‘true one-of-a-kind home’, the agents added that St James Tower combines urban convenience with monumental architecture.
The wider church site has been transformed into 16 exclusive apartments.
