See inside this historical church in Tasmania that has been converted into a modern home

A 144-year-old church with original stain glass windows and ornate exposed ceiling beams has been given a stunning makeover and a modern extension featuring an uber-chic and contemporary kitchen. 

In the small Tasmanian town of Perth, just 10 minutes south of Launceston, the traditional-meets-contemporary home sits on a 2081sqm block and has two main living spaces.  

The church, which dates back 1878, remains relatively uninterrupted by the modern extension and has been carefully restored to preserve its historical charm.
