A "unique" former church complete with its own bar, three-bedroom annexe and around two acres of land has gone on the market for £950,000.
St Paulinus, on Manor Road in St Helens Auckland, near Bishop Auckland, has been converted into a four-bedroom home while retaining a number of its original features.
The property, which dates back to the 1800s, also comes with a separate church hall offering potential for commercial use, two detached garages, outbuildings and a large car park.

Inside, perhaps one of its most striking transformations can be found in the open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining space, which now occupies the area where the original altar once stood.
Pieces of the building's past have also been incorporated into the conversion, with former church pews used to create a staircase leading to a first-floor study.
The ground floor includes two reception rooms, a large cloakroom, utility room, playroom and boiler room, alongside the open-plan living space.
And in an unusual addition, the house even has its own dedicated bar room.

The main property is joined by a three-bedroom annexe, which provides further accommodation.
It includes three double bedrooms, a lounge with a multi-fuel burner, kitchen-diner, another reception room, downstairs WC and first-floor shower room.
