COME ON IN!
ABOUT ME I’m Rosie Willingale, 32 (@no44. house), director of a property company, and I live here with my husband Innes, 34, a wealth manager, daughter Bonnie, and our dog Basil.
MY HOME A three-bed Victorian house in Middlesex. We bought it in 2018 and moved in at the end of 2019 after carrying out some work.
WHEN WE MOVED IN The house hadn’t been touched since the 1970s and it had a tiny kitchen.
AND NOW We’ve extended, built into the loft space and added an outdoor kitchen.
STYLE TIP Think outside the box to get quality pieces for less. We called companies asking for ex-display appliances.
Before we bought this place, we previously lived in a flat, just five minutes down the road from here, but we were desperate for more space,’ says Rosie. ‘We wanted to get a dog so a garden was essential, and this house ticked all the boxes.
The downside was that it hadn’t been updated since the 1970s and was very dated, with a really small kitchen, so we were going to need to do some work on it. Despite that, we bought it in July 2018 with a view to extending the place.
