Having lived in a two-bedroom London flat for 25 years, this couple decided to make the move up north, taking on the renovation of a 1930s semi-detached house in the suburbs of Leeds.
‘We wanted a completely different pace of life and we both knew Leeds pretty well,’ say the home owners. ‘We’ve always loved the style of 1930s houses, so after the first lockdown we booked viewings for six properties in the hope of finding a blank canvas to renovate. This semi-detached property in the suburb of Gledhow was the first one we looked at and had been on the market for a year. You certainly get more for your money up north.’
