Finding a renovation project in their local area was a key factor in Isobel and Jeremy Thomson-Cook’s search for a new family home. ‘We were living in a three-bedroom flat in a Victorian mansion block at the time,’ recalls Isobel. ‘But we were ready for a new challenge, and keen to buy a bigger property with a garden we could do up ourselves in our own style, rather than buy an already updated house at an inflated cost.’
The couple focused their search around the East Dulwich area, which has lots of green spaces and parks, a lovely high street, and good train linksexplains Isobel. Viewing many houses over a six-month period, nothing really captured their imagination until they stumbled across this five-bedroom Victorian terrace on a quiet road just off the high street.
