Taking on the renovation of a 300-year-old, three bedroom terraced cottage in north Cornwall is no mean feat. But Phil Smith, a celebrity hairstylist, and his wife Louise were determined to make this space their own and make the changes required to safeguard their new home for a further several hundred years.
Living here with their dogs Ralph and Smudge, they don't need oodles of space so the compact nature of the cottage instantly appealed. Add to that the fact that it boasts three perfectly proportioned bedrooms for visiting guests, and it has everything the couple needs.
Here, Phil talks us through the renovations that undertook as well as the decor they eventually decided on, to truly make this house their own.
