Bungalow beginnings


So a 1950s brick built bungalow wasn't what I imagined would end up being our first family home.

But with our modest budget we had seen enough 80's low-ceiling houses, 70's boxes and Victorian money-pits. 

On paper it ticked many of our needs:

  • Three okay sized bedrooms
  • Potential to extend
  • A drive with garage 
  • A decent sized garden  

I'm not in love with it. Yet. There's PVC everywhere, built-in wardrobes and a garden that needs a lot of work. But I feel it's an honest house that needs a bit of love and work to be a great house.


We pick up the keys tomorrow!
