Rebecca and Ben Lewis transformed an unloved Victorian property into a warm, character-filled family home – blending period charm with timeless style and everyday practicality

With an eye for design and craftsmanship, Kate Owen and her husband Luke restored a soulless property to create a cosy and characterful home perfect for nostalgic family festivities
