My story
'When we first viewed this place, it was the ugliest house on the street, but we really enjoyed doing up our last home and were ready for a new project. We also wanted a garden for our two dogs, Olive and Lola. It took seven months to move in because of Covid, so we thought we were ready to hit the ground running when we finally got the keys, but our original plans changed fairly swiftly.
We initially planned to open up the ground floor, which had been divided into three living areas, to createinclude a formal living room at the front and a sun room at the back, separated by a bespoke kitchen in the middle, made much more sense and saved a fortune in new flooring and installing massive steels. It also meant we could convert the room that used to be the kitchen into a laundry room.
