This 250-year-old brick and flint detached house in Hampshire looks the picture-perfect country home, blending a modern rustic aesthetic with bags of classic charm. But it wasn't always this way. The owners first came across it as a garishly painted, dilapidated house on Rightmove.

The three-bedroom semi-detached property needed replastering throughout, new period-style windows, a new kitchen and a new bathroom. Later, the wall between the living room and dining room was removed, to form a more sociable, open-plan space. Still, the house always felt 'special'.
