Houzz Tour: A Triumphant Mix of Old and New revives a family townhouse - When owners of this large Victorian house moved, they had to clear out the basement for two years, while the upper floors have undergone major construction work for the property to research and work exactly how they wished. And it was not easy, especially with three young children in tow.
Aside from the basement, the four-storey house was empty since the previous few years and each floor was in desperate need of a complete overhaul. "The refurbishment back-to-brick included structural work, new windows and exterior doors, new electrical and plumbing, interior finishes, built-in furniture, decoration, clean external chemical, repointing and decoration, 'explains stylist Hannah Atcheson. Discover the amazing results for yourself.
