A PITCHED ROOF EXTENSION WITH WOODEN CLADDING IS JUST ONE WAY VICKY AND GARETH HAVE NAILED NEW ENGLAND STYLE IN THEIR SEASIDE FAMILY HOME

Laura Falkenburg and her husband Tom have turned their boxy new-build into a welcoming family home with plenty of style and character – all without breaking the bank

The lure of seaside living led to Sarah Peasant and her husband Nick relocating to Dorset where they found a dated 1980s house that was to become their ideal family home

Rejuvenating this substantial 19th-century property has been a labour of love for Nina and Sam Ward, but they maintain it’s been worth the setbacks and the expense to achieve their forever home

Formerly a series of bedsits, this Victorian property is once again a cohesive home thanks to stylist Sophie Surridge and her husband Charlie
