St Andrew's Church is a unique residence. The conversion from church to living space is well done, with furniture all in keeping with the style of the building. It's very quiet, and having a car to go places is essential. We loved the setting tucked away in the trees surrounded by gravestones and enjoyed the wildlife of deer, rabbits, hares, pheasants and waterbirds across the Wolds.
