UK couple transform derelict house into their dream family home
- 4 years ago
This UK couple couldn't afford to live in their dream area - a village on the outskirts of Lichfield, in England's West Midlands - until they found one derelict house with a lot of potential.
With a toddler and new baby on the way, building their dream family home was no easy feat for Jack and Jaime Craven.
Jaime posted a compilation of the family's impressive renovation to TikTok (@mamacraven), where it received 3.4 million views and an outpour of support.
Jaime told Newsflare: "This is our fourth renovation but by far our biggest. We couldn’t afford to buy in this area so this was the best route for us to be in a nice village where our children can grow up.
"We have been renovating since we bought our first flat in 2014 when we were 23 and 24.
"The process was made more difficult by being heavily pregnant, but my husband worked incredibly hard until I was able to help again."
