F irst-time buyers Emmie and James Sutter had been looking for a renovation project locally that would fit their budget for 18 months. Eventually they found a four-bedroom Edwardian property that they could make their own. HOME NOTES WHAT LED YOU TO THIS PROPERTY? WHO LIVES HERE? ‘Both James and I are drawn to period properties for their proportions and character, so we had focused our search Emmie Vincent Sutter, an around our local area. After 50 viewings and several rejected inwteitrhiohredrehsuigsnbearn, dlivJeasmheesre offers we realised the market had boomed beyond our reach, Sutatnedr, wthheoirwfoourkr-syienafir-noaldnce, so we broadened our search to other parts of Newcastle.

We had the whole house rewired, a new boiler and radiators installed, and upstairs the small bathroom and separate toilet were combined into one. en slowly and methodically we worked through every room, stripping each one back to its bare bones before replastering and decorating, reinstating period features and fitting new flooring.’ WHAT CHALLENGES DID YOU FACE? ‘As an interior designer, I was confident in my design choices and I felt I had a good overview of the renovation. However, neither of us had anticipated how messy and chaotic a live-in renovation would be. Within two weeks of getting the keys, we had ripped out the kitchen and bathroom, and it was three months before we could have a shower in our own home, and 18 months until we had a functional kitchen - it was a challenging time!’ DRIONOINMG BEDROOM TWHHEARTEWNOERVEATTIHOENRWESOURLKT?S OF LRIOVIONMG BEDROOM BEDROOM ‘After three years of squeezing in renovation work around our full-time BEDROOM SECOND FLOOR jobs, we have finally created a calm and elegant space by maintaining a timeless, GROUND FLOOR FIRST FLOOR pared-back aesthetic throughout.

But the project became even bigger than they had ever imaged once the builders had surveyed the property… HOW DID YOU FIND THIS HOUSE? ‘We had been living with my parents while we saved up to buy our own property and spent two years looking around London before we just happened to find something we liked on the same road. When we bought the house, back in 2019, it was completely derelict. It had bright-blue carpet throughout and damp on all the walls. I remember thinking, “Wow, this is a huge job”, but we put in an offer HOME NOTES anyway. And although it was originally rejected, the agent later called us back to say that it had been accepted.
