Newmans' Grand Designs

This is a blog about our journey to convert an 1860s 5 storey Victorian building in Lewisham, from a run down office block to our taylor made home (after over 40 years of office neglect). Having first viewed the property in June 2010, seen planning permission for a 'Change of Use' come through in October 2010; we finally picked up the keys in February 2011. Now the fun starts!

We've started a trend!

The entire road of houses now has scaffolding up - all smartening themselves up...
