Unhappy with the layout of their new home, Jules Coleman and Simon Rohrbach wasted no time in making improvements.
Having searched for the right home for a year, Jules Coleman and her partner Simon Rohrbach were delighted to discover a four-bedroom Victorian terraced house in London. ‘We loved how well proportioned the house was, especially with its high ceilings,’ says Jules. ‘There’s also a nice community feel here, with plenty of independent shops, great restaurants and good pubs. Plus, there are lovely green spaces nearby, ideal for long Sunday walks with our dog, Percy.’
Jules believes the property was divided into flats before the previous owners converted it into a family home. As a result, the layout didn’t lend itself to the way she and Simon wanted to use the space. ‘Everything was structurally sound, but the layout and things like the flooring and even the fixtures and fittings needed updating.’
