Kerry Jameson and Leo Turnbull, from Gosforth, Newcastle, have spent their summer holiday renovating a three-storey property after becoming homeowners earlier this year.

And now they are celebrating a new and exciting chapter in their lives after fantastic A-level results secured Kerry a place on her desired university course and put them on track to move into their home within the next few weeks.

The Gosforth Academy students will be moving into a Grade II listed property in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, allowing Leo to complete a software apprenticeship in Sheffield and Kerry to study medicine at Nottingham University.

Kerry, who celebrated her 18th birthday earlier this week, said: “We were looking for a place that was close enough to somewhere where Leo could do an apprenticeship and somewhere close enough for me to go to uni. We narrowed it down to either somewhere in Newcastle or somewhere in Nottingham. But then I got rejected from Newcastle, which looking at it now was such a blessing in disguise.
