This Victorian property was once a former pub, and it was the old-world charm and cottagey feel that made Chloe Bates and her husband fall for it when house hunting in 2011. The couple had made headway opening up the ground floor to create a more suitable living space for the family of five, but the bathroom upstairs had been untouched for 13 years and had seen a lot of wear and tear.
The couple, who live with their three children, undertook this ambitious bathroom renovation project, which included complete gutting and reconfiguration to create a contemporary cottage feel with plenty of storage. The project cost £30,000 in total, but the couple say the new bathroom was worth every penny.
