Grade I listed ex-church on sale - for less than a one-bedroom flat
A Grade I listed former church is up for sale for less than a one-bedroom flat in some parts of London.
St Andrew's Church near Stowmarket, Suffolk features two bedrooms, a double reception and just under an acre of land including fairytale-style wooded grounds.
The stunning property - believed to date back to the 14th Century - has undergone "significant renovations" by English Heritage, a charity with more than 400 historic buildings under its care.
It is on the market for £600,000 - less than the price of a fancy one-bedroom flat in the capital, or a tiny terraced house in Brighton.
