I’d keep as many old red bricks as I could to build maybe a vegetable patch or a small garden wall ! Adds character to the property and also keeps some of the history

[@KadilakHomes]

that is a great idea!

[@tracye.h6890]

AWESOME, hope it's yours....sad about garden plants hope to see you bring some back, especially tree!

[@ymarkone]

That back garden is huge! If I were lucky enough to have that much room I'd definitely divide it up into "rooms". Near the house I'd make a small patio for a table and chairs and maybe a grill. I'd also put in a kitchen garden for herbs and vegetables. Just beyond that a lawn down the middle with flower beds on each side, this will allow for children or pets to play. Toward the back I'd create a cozy space with shade and maybe some outside seating with cover, somewhere quiet for a read or just relaxing. If I had the money, I'd put in a small summer house, which could be used for any number of purposes. If it's expensive to run power out to it, I would install a small solar panel, battery, and led lights which don't require a lot of power.

[@Andy2x4]

I'm also glad you saved the apple tree, it's a shame more couldn't be saved but I get it... I have about ten smallish apple trees at the house I'm renovating so trying to dig them up to replant at my own house as I hate removing plants! It's nice to see that you care and are respectful to both the house and garden and not just focussed on doing what's easiest, like many doing this. Good job!

[@agnespm4181]

It is lovely that you have found out about the previous owner. looking forward to the updates. good luck. you have a great work ethic.

[@gunillaevanth1370]

I would make a utilityroom where the old kitchen was. Very convinient to have a door out into the garden if You would hang your laundry out to dry. Also good to have cabinets to be able to store bedlinen, tablecloths, towels etc. As You Said, You always need storage...! 🤔😉

[@mintavfall]

If it was my house I would do that as well, tile the floors, put the washer+dryer in there and have a lot of storage compartments/ cabinets/ closets. It would make all the different for a family with kids and dogs.

[@PrincessJaetara]

I agree, very convenient spot and perfect size for a utility room. Plus all the plumbing is there already 😉

[@lqqkitslory]

I had the same thought!

[@anyoprea189]

this days you don't hang laundry to dry outside lolllll....is impractical and "exotic" lol uglyyyyyyyy. wtf

[@gunillaevanth1370]

@@anyoprea189 we need to get back to old times! Eco and also good for mindfullnes

[@mallerywallinger1096]

So glad you stripped the garden back. Now you have a blank canvas to do what suits you.

[@James-wb2sc]

A great video and nice to see you're being respectful to the previous owner by speaking to his neighbours and trying to save/preserve some of the features in the bungalow. The work you've done on the garden is amazing and it's such a good size. Looking forward to the next update and thanks for sharing

[@BPerley09]

I would make a mudroom/ laundry/ storage room where the old kitchen was

[@orlaigh]

I would keep the cupboard where the water tank currently is, having storage near the front door is very important. Great to watch.

[@cindylong624]

water heater could go in the old kitchen

[@angelacassels7230]

Loving what you’re doing as you are doing it with consideration and sensitivity with regard to this once lovely house. Also love that you are endeavouring to save the lights, and have saved the kitchen cupboards too.This house certainly has a lovely vibe and I will be eager to see it progress to something very special.

[@NicksHomeRenovations]

Thank you 😊

[@yvonnejohnson772]

@@NicksHomeRenovations you said a bought the lino I hade it on my kitchen floor I use a wallpaper steamer on mine and underneath was quarry tiles I stripped my doors back hade them taken right back to panel doors pretty war ones good luck sorting it out

[@dawnlynas1103]

Wow what a fab back garden.. lovely bungalow as well. Love that you are trying to keep the character. I had a separate toilet and I knocked them together and I really wish I hadn’t. It’s so convenient if someone is in the bath or shower others can still use the toilet but I can see why you want to knock them together. Keep up the great work 👍👍😁 I see someone thought you were disrespectful to the old man.. I didn’t think you were at all. You said he was lovely and all the neighbours spoke kindly and fondly of him and you are trying to retain a lot of character where most builders would just rip the whole lot out.

[@Bobrogers99]

I understand why you had to remove almost everything in the back garden. I know it would have been impractical to work around assorted shrubs (which workmen would probably crush anyway), but it's sad to see them gone. At least you saved the apple tree! I hope you will be able to save the transom windows over the interior doors. As for the garage, even if it had been in salvageable condition it was so narrow that it would only conveniently hold motorcycles and bikes.

[@wendymaddock7705]

The garden looking good 😌 am a gardener and florist and live in a bungalow when I moved here there was no plants in my garden but there’s plant in my garden back and Front I put rased beds in the back xx 😘 it looks good now been here 6 years l like you Chanel xx 😘

[@suewinston-elliott2674]

Love the Hippo Bags ! So Handy full skip slows you down HIPPO BAGS A WINNER !

[@chandarussell]

Aaaah, I can’t believe you removed everything from the back garden. There were a couple of lovely trees and shrubs in it. I guess it couldn’t be helped. It’s a lovely large garden. I hope you won’t turn the entire front garden into a car park though. Can’t wait to see what the house will look like. Definitely need a bigger kitchen and utility room.

[@nightwindswings]

I know like there were some beautiful Rhododendrum’s

[@AntPDC]

@@nightwindswings In the UK , where land is in short supply, and nearly every adult family member has a car, front gardens are becoming a thing of the past and, as you say, being turned into car parks. One can see this up and down Britain in urban estates like this. It's a sad loss in my view.

[@sharonmohon3275]

The old kitchen would make a great laundry/ mud room to come inside from the garden.

[@MaximilianvonPinneberg]

Yeah, I would move the laundry to there as it already has all teh services, then move the kitchen the other side continuing to the 4m extension with bifold across the back. you'd probably have a 7m kitchen.

[@marieradatsz4126]

I am glad the neighbours shared what a lovely man who lived there was. As a retired district nurse I was mortified at the way you pulled the house apart verbally. I know how hard it is for the old people when they become frail and unable to look after their surroundings. He was from a generation who were very proud something a lot of young people don’t understand anymore. I am glad you have back peddled a bit and stated what a lovely person he was. I also hope you have learned a lesson about respect from this on reflection. I am looking forward to following the renovation now xx

[@edwinanixon5726]

Nick, what a lovely little home. The bathroom would be really cute with a clawfoot tub , love doing a good soak, though most people these days love the walk in showers. I see you put this video out on my birthday, THANK YOU, lol I see in the time lapse you sat down a few times to have some lunch, dont eat so fast, ha,ha!! but what a big difference. Great job!! :)

[@jlmfoy365]

I'll bet the neighbors either side love you 😂.

[@fanye6801]

That light on the left side back corner of the house is a Coughtree, a quite collectable Scottish made fixture that would probably survive an apocalypse. It would look fantastic refurbished and reinstalled on the new extension!

[@HWY66]

It is a wonderful old home...and I love watching you bring it back ti life!

[@alisonmckenzie1415]

Lovely old bungalow . Love the bay windows and the gardens huge. Cannot wait for the updates, cheers 👍🏻.

[@kathe.o.]

Love the 3 bulb light in the front room. With the radiator gone in the front room and opposite home office you might think of window seats with storage beneath.

[@solluna3976]

I love how you keep certain aspects of the houses you work on, like many people would of just thrown the Art Deco lights or chopped the apple tree down without considering the history of them. Keep up the good work!! :)

[@rebeccamills3886]

Not art deco lights

[@sharaleeinsley7289]

I love your house. And the neighborhood. Can't wait to see your progress.

[@SB_McCollum]

You saved clippings and specimens! Awesome! I can follow you now.

[@brookepetersen9585]

Adorbale home! I'd personally not take the wall completely down between the toilet room and the bath. It's nice to be able to use the loo if someone is taking a soak. Keep up the good work!

[@rogercarroll2551]

Can't wait to see what becomes of that old property. It has much appeal.

You are really brave and super talented if you are doing this as a DIY on your own. Good luck

[@petanders1968]

Nick wow you've really got to grips with the garden area, made me prune mine this weekend as it's always trying to get the upper hand. Good luck with the mods, I like the time lapse footage too Peter (-:

[@matt8906]

bet the neighbors love you with that Smokey bonfire

[@fionastevens4170]

It's not so bad when it's a cold autumn day as most people will not have their windows open and will not have hung their washing out. If if was during the summer I'd be complaining though lol

[@fl3162]

I’ve been in a bungalow for 20 years ... I replaced the interior doors with glass ones that made a huge difference.

[@Siansonea]

I can't wait to see the design for the extension and the garage rebuild/integration into the floor plan. It's very nice to see the garden cleared, I can't believe how huge it is. I think you should remove the original Art Deco lights you're saving and pack them away safely, so they don't get damaged during the renovation. I'm glad you're taking inspiration from the house's history in your redesign and renovation, I think a good renovation always takes the era and style of the house into consideration.

[@barbaravoneitzen7729]

I hope you do videos because I’m not a Instagram gal.

[@kcanded]

Exactly what I'm hoping too. I'm not on Instagram, nor do I ever plan to get on Instagram.

[@LexiUnicorn]

Love these videos, we’re currently restoring an 1800s house and omg woodchip is evil!! X

[@NicksHomeRenovations]

Haha good luck with it! I found it easier holding the wallpaper stripper for longer and then scrapping larger bits with more force from left to right (maybe 10 inches at a time). Tiny scrapes didn't do anything annoyingly. Good luck!

[@leighdamian]

Looking good so far.This is going to be a great renovation and will be great to look back what you have achieved in the future.

[@nancyjohnson50]

[@tinaluise9308]

Good to hear you saved things. It was upsetting seeing it

[@Shaaala]

I really like the progress and there was so much hard work done between the first video and now! Respect! Please make sure you plan a generous access to your garden for landscaping machinery (even for the future, after your extensions are up). Looking forward to the next episode!

[@chrisstemple8006]

You got your hands full but that is a lovely house and lot. I look forward to watching you make it your own.

[@ItzD3fW1sH]

I recently moved into a semi detached from 1950s and we removed the chimney stack from the entire house. My god it was one hell of a job (as you say, they made things bloody well back then!) and the messiest thing ever but the space it gave after was immense. Any who, look forward to this one! Good progress so far Nick!

[@carolinejohn4537]

Wow. You've accomplished a lot already. Garden looks massive now too. Great that you could keep the apple tree. Cant understand why anybody thought that garage was salvageable, it's far too narrow, only good for storage and just not worth all the time and money that would have cost. Bad news re asbestos. Thanks for the run through REALLY looking forward to part 3 !!! Thanks for sharing this with us. Take care.

[@FurnitureFan]

So glad you kept the apple tree. Hard luck on the woodchip wallpaper, it's tough going. Well done on keeping the loo - I have friends who proudly smashed up theirs on a similar project and put it in the skip. The workmen then arrived and pointed out that it would have been needed - luckily the foreman lived up the road so they all used his! Bamboo grows quickly if you wanted a quick green back screen.

[@markwhitehead64]

Hello from New Hampshire! What a lovely spacious back garden! I lived in Odsal Bradford for three years. The old semi-detached homes that were originally the mill managers had nice yards like yours. Best of luck with the renovation!

[@tinaluise9308]

Shame you didn't keep more of those beautiful mature specimans in the back yard

[@davidsnow7614]

Did something very similar to you on a slightly smaller scale, 10 years ago, on our bungalow. It looked very much like yours inside after we stripped it out and started again from a shell. I’ll watch with much interest in your progress during this project , good luck 👍🏼

[@barbaravoneitzen7729]

The design is so different. It should be very interesting when your done. The back yard is so big. Your lucky. Maybe raised beds for a garden?

[@dtulip1]

As someone who grew up with separate Loo and bath room..then had them combined I actually regret not keeping the loo separate...just so that guests don't stink out your bathroom..also so you can use the loo when someone is doing their 2hr pamper bath in the bathroom :D

Thank you for saving the apple tree. You could use those concreposts to make a nice grape arbor.

[@kimburke575]

Exciting to see the work in progress

[@nancibishof6462]

Congratulations on your home purchase. It has good bones. I'm glad you saved the apple tree, cuttings of other plants, and potted up others to transplant later. Consider the interior light sources as you add onto the back. Rooms in the middle can get very dark.

[@djp780]

Garden transformation is great. And I agree with you on keeping the cupboard next to bathroom as storage. I think the garage should be kept if you are making this a 2 or 3 bedroom bungalow for resale as families will always need that extra storage and it's a separate access from the front to the back of the house.

[@robertward6813]

Looking great and will make an awsome home when its finished 😀

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

The trick with wood chip wall paper is to score it with a razor, dowse it with warm water and washing up liquad....leave to soak in ... it gives you slightly more purchase , still laborious though. Bless you, I am thrilled you are being respectful and sympathetic to the house . 👏🥳💖

[@barnett882]

Wow... brilliant progress and look forward to the next instalment buddy!!

[@craigekins6552]

I would put a shower in the space that you can take from the immersion heater will be a much bigger selling point than a storage cupboard.

[@marieradatsz4126]

He is putting a shower in the bathroom which will be massive when wall comes down, a closet would be far more useful especially if it was open plan and a seat which could double for shoes.

[@olivianascimento727]

I agree with you. There was so much potential to work around the trees and zoning it in to various areas. But there must have been a reason behind his thinking so only he can tell.

[@BACKPACKTOPIA]

The garden is huge, you could put another house in the back and still have enough privacy and green space for both houses. Which of course would be a matter of extra funds and permits. Love the style of this house and I'm excited to see how everything will look like once it's all done.

Old clay flowerpots are sought after, one of the neighbours might have liked those. Wish this was near me, I'd love it, I can visualise your plans. We have renovated three homes now and need a single storey home but what we see have been over modernised for our tastes. We'd have to pay top dollar but then redo it all, so your project looks very desirable! XXX
