Our homes are often a reflection of who we are and mark every change, chapter and milestone in our lives. The saying 'home is where the heart is' particularly rings true for Pete Reynolds, 62, who spoke to us as part of our Where I Live series.
Each week we take our readers inside a different home in the north west to have a look around, see how they've renovated to make it their own and find out why it is so special to them. For bank account manager Pete, his £135,000 three-bed house in Buckshaw Village, near Chorley means more than most.
Having grown up nearby in Euxton, Pete has moved around through work and lived in Manchester, Berkshire and Wigan before going full circle and moving back to Lancashire last year. After splitting from his wife, the dad-of-four wanted to live closer to home and decided to settle in the transformed village which has some sentimental history to him.
