Ever dreamed of waking up to ringing church bells and a singing choir? Well, now a charming property in Suffolk is on the market that could well be the answer to your prayers.

The property in question is St Andrew’s in Mickfield, a 700-year-old working church that’s been restored in a £1m English Heritage project. Set on a 0.9-acre plot of land overlooking some stunning Suffolk countryside, it’s your opportunity to snag a seriously special three-bedroom home.

The church is Grade I-listed, dates back to 1310 and retains a lot of church-y elements like its large windows in the sitting room, artwork on the kitchen walls and the ropes of a working church bell tower. Sounds cool, eh?

However, there is a tiny catch. Since it is a working church, you’d need to open your house to worshippers to use twice a month and on special days. You’ll need to be more than happy to share your home with an entire congregation. 

Here are a few pics of the place.

All this could be yours for a not-too-shabby £600,000. You can check out more details on the Rightmove website
