The Cranleigh Evangelical Free Church is situated in Cranleigh, Surrey and existed as a place of worship from 1918 till the end of the century. Over a period of time the parishioners attending gradually declined the church was finally closed down in November 2000. The site and building posed serious challenges for any potential purchaser as the site was small and located in a back land location with inadequate facilities for parking. The church was located on a flood plain and was only accessible via a small concrete footbridge.
The brief was to convert the church into residential dwelling. The bedroom accommodation is located on a new first floor and comprised four bedrooms with a family bathroom which are accessed off a new gallery and staircase open to the main living space below. The main living area is on the ground floor of the main hall with a small study and playroom.
