When Laura and Dan had their first child, they decided to swap big city life for something more peaceful. Top of their wish list were a commutable area with good transport links and a peaceful location surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside.

WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO MOVE?

'Dan and I lived in a cool warehouse-style basement flat in Crystal Palace for six years. It was our first home together and perfectly suited our lives as young professionals in London. However, when our son Oakley arrived, it was time for a new chapter and we really wanted a family home with a garden.'

WHAT DREW YOU TO THIS HOUSE?

'We were searching for a period property with character and space, hoping to renovate and create our dream home. We had viewed a lot of Victorianstyle townhouses, but nothing felt quite right until we found this one. We were instantly drawn to the abundance of light pouring in and the huge back garden meant there was the potential to extend.

We knew it could become something truly special.
