Owner's perspective - "When we laid our eyes on 51 Derby Road we immediately loved its location, easy walking distance into the centre of Ashbourne, the ability to pop just around the corner to the shop or even walk across the road to the bus stop and while you had all these amenities on the doorstep you also have gorgeous green fields and views of the countryside from the front of the property that give you a real mixture of town and rural living - all these things sold us the property and we knew we wanted to inject some life back into it.
The bungalow although very well loved and lived in was tired and in need of a revamp - so we set about carefully stripping back everything bar a few walls and re building it. We added a large open plan kitchen/living at the back of the property - which really needs to be seen and stood in to be believed, it created a big family/ entertaining space that really isn’t apparent or appreciated when you look at the front of the property. Something through out the renovation we were really keen not to ruin was the bungalows “feel” even though when we bought it it felt old and worn - it was loved and had a very happy/ homely feel to it which we have been very careful to nurture and maintain this while we modernised absolutely everything."
