A COUPLE who bought the oldest house on their street six years ago have told of how they<\/strong> transformed it – and added more than \u00a3200,000 to its value. <\/p>\n

Ella Moore, 38,\u00a0and her now-husband nabbed their "eyesore" home for \u00a3277,000 in 2017.<\/p>\n

The couple lived in the Manchester house, which dates back to the 1800s, for a year before they got to work. <\/p>\n

But now, they live in their dream home – which they think is worth about \u00a3460,000. <\/p>\n

Ella said they first started looking for a bigger place with a bit of character – and began browsing outside of Altrincham. <\/p>\n

It was then that they found an 1800s property in Northenden. <\/p>\n

The interior designer told the Manchester Evening News: "This was almost the same price as what we sold our house for, but it was much bigger and had a lot more potential.<\/p>\n

"The house needed a lot of work but it was a good price and it ticked all of our boxes, so we just went for it."<\/p>\n

Ella said the home wasn't awfully "desirable" when they first bought it, adding: "It was a bit of a mess and the front was an eyesore, it was like an old dentist surgery.<\/p>\n

"We very much knew it was a doer-upper and it had so much potential." <\/p>\n

The pair lived in the home for a year before getting to work – and by then they had a plan, and a budget of \u00a390,000. <\/p>\n

However, Ella explained, they "definitely" went over that. <\/p>\n

She said: "The living room downstairs didn\u2019t need any building work so we started with that, we put a nice log burner in and sanded the floors and repainted all the walls."<\/p>\n

They've now transformed basically every room, built an extension on the house and completely changed the layout of downstairs to make it open plan. <\/p>\n

The couple also put plenty of work in upstairs – moving the bathroom, adding a fourth bedroom and putting in en suites.<\/p>\n

Ella says the home is now worth between \u00a3420,000 and \u00a3460,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She added: "We haven\u2019t had it valued properly but from looking around, it should be around \u00a3450,000 now.<\/p>\n

"It\u2019s hard to say because house prices have changed but I think that\u2019s accurate for what we\u2019ve done and comparing it to selling prices in our area.\u201d<\/p>\n
