MY STORY
This house was an absolute wreck when we bought it. However, we could both see how much potential it had, with its spacious rooms, large garden and bay windows. Luckily, I was completely naïve as to how much work it actually needed. If I'd known beforehand what I was getting myself into, I may not have bought it – but that would have been a mistake.
Over time, we've pretty much replaced every single part of the house, from the skirting boards to the internal doors. We installed the kitchenIt's all taken a very long time – six years, in fact – as we did the work in our evenings, weekends and annual leave.
