READY TO REUSE
‘The old kitchen was a 1980s farmhouse style. We salvaged some of it for our utility room – mainly to keep down costs, and because it was such good quality it seemed a shame to throw it in a skip. We kept the double glazing we’d already had installed and moved an existing set of French doors into this room.
‘We lived in during the build using a basic utility room with a microwave and kettle. It took three months – I was dreading it to start with, but it was so much better than we thought! The only issue was trying to find a fridge-freezer that would fit the slanted roof. The eaves-style space is a bit of a quirk – the fridge we have was the only one we could find!’
