Renovating this rundown house changed my life

A Victorian townhouse turned out to be Rachel and Chris Clasper’s dream home, and a wonderful setting for their new-found passion for collecting antiques

Feel-good and fabulous, this maisonette gives full expression to the owners’ passion for bold design

Daring to be different, the owner of this Victorian terrace embraced all of the house’s quirks to ensure that every design decision honoured its history

Drawn by the peaceful setting and history of the property, Alison Elliott and her husband, James Sampson, have lovingly improved their elegant Victorian townhouse

Thanks to an innovative renovation, a tiny two-up two-down cottage has been completely transformed into a wonderfully lofty, open-plan space

This Georgian gem was re-energised with a fresh palette and a sympathetic makeover that make the most of its elegant proportions and vintage character
