One year in 10 Mins! Restoring & Renovating a 120 year old Edwardian House.

We purchased this house knowing that it needed a lot of work. The owner hadn't fixed the leaking roof for years.

The only way to bring it back to life was to completely strip everything and rebuild it.

We have also added a dormer loft and a rear extension

Follow the journey as we resuscitate this beautiful house and turn it into a home once again.

Wow. That mosaic tile is stunning. Great video. I could have watched this for hours. 🙂

I’m sure I recognise my beautiful Muswell Hill area of London where Your house is located. I spent much of the 80s living in Muswell Hill and loved the area dearly. Good luck with your renovations.

I’ve worked on over 50 house rehab projects and sometimes you need to tear out a lot to update the building for a modern living experience! Keep up the good work!!!

[ovandek]

I have respect for your work and energy, this is a big project! I wish I had the time and energy to continue working on my house... but my job and small children hardly leave me any time to finish. A bathroom and the attic still need to be renovated

[Harryset]

Obviously not your first rodeo - well done! All the best. Greets, H.

I've seen anyone build a house from the inside out before! Nice work!

[maureenhill]

Brilliant! The beautiful tiled floor they found made my heart skip a beat. I live in Australia & so many of the villa style houses have the same tiles❤

Thank you for documenting & sharing this….it’s fascinating to watch the transformation taking place on this gorgeous old house & I can’t wait to see the end result! 😁👍

[amydirschell]

I think you are doing a wonderful job!!!
I have been watching another renovation and they also have to tear down rotten wood and removing concrete floors to expose a beautiful floor underneath!!!
Keep up the beautiful work you do show you care❣️

[Schakalaka]

I like what I saw. Not everything that is old should be kept. There was a lot of rotten stuff which has been removed, and the removed stones, that everyone is complaining about in the comments, weren’t even visible in the original build. Well done!

[rewind]

I noticed you reused the joists, they will be way better quality than any new wood you can buy they looked brand new, fantastic job.

[petunia]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video.Thank you

Can't knock hard graft, this is hard graft.

Really enjoyed the video

[melodymacken]

Spectacular.
Nothing like unasked for advice.

[Cramert]

So glad this channel came up in my recommendations.

I am very excited to see your renovation videos. Love the tile discovery. I'm terribly excited for you. I wonder why they would cover it up. It's beautiful. I can understand why you might replace the wood. It looks like you were showing us that some of it is rotted and falling apart. I live in a 1932 row townhouse in Baltimore, Maryland. It was renovated by someone else. I'm not renovating but if i were I'd be stripping paint off the wood, looking at the original floors instead of making do with the fake wood floors and i would think about looking at the walls and going down to studs to add insulation. But for now, I'm happy with what i have. Good luck to you! I look forward to seeing more videos. I loved this one perfectly fine.

I'm willing to bet these folks could have built a perfect replica of this house for less money than they spent on this rehab job.

This was a makeover. Renovate and conserve is something entirely different.

Live in a house more than 100 years old and a lot of the old stuff is still there

[SvendleBerries]

Is it really a 120 year old house if most of it is brand new?

[ericnicholson]

You could of sold them bricks & floor boards
