A stunning flat which was converted from an old church is now on the market.
Situated on Admiral Street, the former Belvidere Baptist Church in Princes Park, Toxteth was built in 1862 and was originally a Wesleyan Methodist church called St Johns before it reformed in 1950. Back in 2016, the church was sold to ECAM Properties and transformed into flats.
The development was named Lilli May Mews and featured 20 homes, from one bed apartments to three bedroom townhouses, for sale and rent. Tom Wright-Evans, 25, and his partner Dan Pearson, 29, have lived in their two-bedroom apartment for a number of years.

Inside their home, the couple restored some of the church's original features, including some of the masonry work of the altar and the original vestry door, which was now the main entrance to their property. Tom and Dan even found images of what the church looked like, including a marriage ceremony in 1950 which features the altar now in the couple's living room.
Speaking to the ECHO, Tom said: "The alter work was so amazing and kept in such good condition. It's a centre piece and we were blown away with it. We had never seen anything like it before."
Tom and Dan mixed their apartment with the new and old. Furnishing the flat with modern designs to complement the stand-out features of the altar and the original vestry door.

The couple is now in the process of selling their duplex apartment and wanted to "to share our renovations with everyone before we leave". The property is now on the market for £245,000 with estate agent Homesure Woolton.
It consists of two bedrooms, two bathrooms, large living area, modern fitted kitchen and three-piece family bathroom. The "amazing" ceiling height windows allows plenty of natural light to filter through also.
The flat comes with an allocated parking space and is within a secure gated community.
