The four-storey property, built around 1790, boasted a courtyard
leading to a 70ft garden, four bedrooms, a first-floor balcony,
pantry, wet room, kitchen, dining room and two adjoining sitting
rooms separated by concertina doors.
Every room needed restoration: “I had to make enormous
improvements. The house was gutted. It took about six months to
renovate the property – six gruelling months,” he continues.
Working to a budget of £40,000 the finished town house had a
canary yellow front door and turquoise shutters. On the inside the
rooms were decorated with retro accessories, artworks and brightlycoloured furnishings.
