We move into 'Five Elms' in November 2008 armed with many ideas and plans to bring this tired house back to life. We had fallen in love with the space the house provided as well as its great location and garden.
After a change of architects we made strides forward to create a larger, light filled home complete with modernising the anthracite fired heating system and rewiring and replumbing the entire house.
Our initial plans were turned down but after appealing we finally won planning permission in mid 2009 and went out to tender for a local builder to complete the project.
On March 13th we moved out ready for the builders to start work.
