SPACE TO celebrate

REBECCA AND SIMON HAVE TRANSFORMED A PLAIN NEW BUILD WITH A SELF-BUILT EXTENSION AND IT'S ESPECIALLY MAGICAL AT CHRISTMAS

- 

With a growing family and dreams of having more space, Rebecca and Simon swapped their charming 1940s house for a new build with potential and transformed it into a warm, character filled forever home.

WHAT FACTORS MADE YOU WANT TO MOVE?

'Our previous home was a 1940s ex-local authority house. It had big rooms, a great plot and even a pantry and outhouse, but as our family grew, we needed more space. We wanted a detached house, in a more rural location, with lots of storage, a garage, and the potential to create a sociable kitchen, dining and snug area that worked better for our young family.'

WHY WERE YOU DRAWN TO THIS PROPERTY?

'The house ticked most of our boxes. Although it was a pretty bland new build, it had a charming double front and was tucked away with no passing traffic. I could see the potential, and Simon was won over by the generous garage space!'
