The Victorian Threshing Barn, Surrey

For Philip and Angela, the build was part of a life change that had begun two years earlier. Just after their second daughter was born, Philip fell seriously ill, prompting the family to leave London and move back to his parents' village.

Inside, however, they decided to rip out everything including walls, ceilings, floors and start again.
