A couple who transformed a tired-looking house that was the "worst on the street" into a charming cottage were left speechless after finding out what the renovated property was worth. Trained accountants Tim and Laura bought the house in Glais, near Swansea, as they moved to the area from Bristol, with the property badly in need of a facelift.
The couple, along with their one-year-old daughter Grace, appeared on Channel 4 show, 'Worst House on the Street', which documented their 13-week-long mission to transform the unfashionable 1830s house into their forever home. As its title suggests, the aim of the programme is to buy the most rundown home on a street, renovate it, and attempt to make a profit.
Hosts Scarlette and Stuart Douglas, who have years of experience in helping renovate properties between them, were not overly impressed with the house when they first arrived in Glais, describing it as a "diamond in the rough, with a lot of rough," while Stuart described its huge conservatory as "a monstrosity". However, they both admitted that while the house had been "left to fester", it "could be beautiful" if Tim and Laura put in the work.
