So - I can hardly believe it - the purchase of our absolute dream property is inching through with a completion date in early June. We've planned and saved for this for years, and it looks like we are getting there.
We're buying a farmhouse with some land in an area of outstanding natural beauty, a mile from the coast in a beautiful place.
The house itself, though liveable, is NOT a thing of outstanding beauty. It needs cosmetic renovation in almost every room - we are thinking of starting with the kitchen (knock-through, wooden worktops and wooden floor, white shaker-style units, Everhot stove in red, put in a stable door to the garden), and one of the upstairs bathrooms (tongue and groove, white suite). We need to redecorate and re carpet / re floor the whole place.
We have 2 children under 3. Any advice / experiences/ inspiration / good websites/ books / publications welcome. Please!!
Many thanks in advance.
