Absolutely beautiful... and cozy!

Absolutely stunning and sympathetic restoration in my humble opinion

I’m glad we have people like you to restore the house. Developers would demolish it and build characterless box apartments

Love it ! You are so lucky to be in a house dated back in time. The house itself is full of old charm.

I just watched a video where they ruined a gorgeous historic home by adding an ultra modern glass addition on the back...cringe worthy. This is a stunning, respectful and on point reno...well done...well done! Just wow!

Gorgeous I’m glad it wasn’t “modernized “with glass and pale wood etc like some ,

If that was mine, I’d cook on the Victorian range everyday
