Landulph Methodist Church

Ercle were approached in 2025 by a private client seeking to convert a Grade II Listed Methodist Church into a private dwelling. The church building, which was bought at auction, had not been used by the community in many years and showed high levels of dilapidation.

Recognising that listed buildings are inherently substantial energy users, a primary goal for the project was to provide as much of the required energy in a renewable manner as possible. To achieve this, the design successfully incorporates both photovoltaic panels and wind turbines. Working sympathetically with the historic fabric of the building, the original church pews were carefully retained and repurposed for bespoke internal joinery work. Furthermore, the existing staircases were meticulously reordered and adjusted to meet the flow and functionality of the new residential design.
