We Own a House

We bought a little Victorian terraced house in London. Yay! It was owned by an 81 year old man who lived in it for 40 years. I suspect he last updated it in the 60's. It has quite a charm of its own and Nigel and I are looking to restore it back to a lot of it's original features. The property is 17 feet wide. It is a great neighbourhood where you can't help getting to know your neighbours (due to proximity). These are our floor plans and the standard layout for a 105 year old terrace house (although the back bottom level has been extended). There is potential to also put in a loft. I suppose I might be blogging this in the next while...

  4. Thats what my dad said too! I think my camera made it look nicer than it is. you can't see the walls have a really bad finish and the rugs are all stained and old. But we are going to restore that place!
