A 125-year-old church in Hamilton has been transformed into a set of 'luxury' flats.
St Andrew’s Church, on the corner of Avon Street and Haddow Street, has been redeveloped by the Apsis Group into six 'luxury' apartments for rent.
The church, which is more than 125 years old, has retained period features such as cornicing, archways, stained glass, and architraves.
Despite the age of the original building, the apartments are energy efficient and have a ‘B’ EPC energy rating.
Each of the two-bedroom apartments has been individually designed and features its own unique attributes.
Flat four features an open-plan kitchen, lounge, and dining room with large feature arch windows and a mezzanine level.
Double doors lead through to a practical utility room alongside the two double bedrooms and main bathroom.
Both bedrooms have double-height ceilings and mezzanine levels, providing ideal dressing areas, accessed by feature ‘witches’ steps specially designed for the rooms.
The master bedroom also benefits from an ensuite shower room.
Flat one boasts its own main door entrance and unique architectural features including columns, archways, feature beams and striking windows.
This apartment features the original tower stairwell which opens to a large double-height lounge with open-plan kitchen and a utility room.
The master bedroom features a specially built wardrobe as well as a 'luxury' ensuite shower room.
Rental prices start from £1,100 per month.
Alex Reid, director of Apsis Group, said: "We’ve been delighted with the response to the apartments which, behind the scenes, represented a really complex construction project to reconfigure an old building into what we can see today, retaining as much of its character as possible.
"From its striking façade, with its unique windows to the interior specification, each detail had to be carefully considered to not only be aesthetically pleasing but also meet the very strict building regulations and requirements.
“The results, however, have been exceptional ensuring that residents enjoy a truly unique experience combining the old with the new to offer contemporary, energy efficient homes."
