'We commissioned a local joiner to make the kitchen. It was about the same price as the big kitchen companies but gave us so much more freedom with style, colours and layout."

Wanting a change of pace and to improve their work life balance, Chloe and Phil decided to use their renovation experience to downsize, and in the process, turn an unloved wreck into a relaxed, family home.WHY DID YOU WANT TO MOVE?
'We were living in what we thought would be our forever home: a six bedroom Victorian house that we'd spent seven years renovating. But I had some health issues which made us reconsider what was important in life. I went part-time at work and we bought a smaller house to reduce our mortgage. I loved the location of this place, directly opposite the park, and although it needed a complete cosmetic update, it had good "bones" and plenty of potential to extend so that we wouldn't miss the amount of space in our previous home."
