Most people who have ambitions to climb the property ladder have to start small and work their way up in the hopes of one day owning their dream home. Buying, renovating and selling houses can take a lot of time, patience and perseverance before you eventually get to where you want to be.
This traditional route is the one that Debbie Newton, 35, took which led her to owning the five-bed detached house in Bacup where she lives today. Debbie spoke to us as part of our Where I Live series, where each week we take our readers inside a different home across the region to look around, find out how much it cost and see how the owner has renovated it to make it their own.
Debbie has lived in the Rossendale Valley all of her life and, after buying and selling two other properties, she has now gone full circle and bought a house on the same street that she grew up on which holds some special childhood memories.
