Ryan Green, 28·, and his wife, Nicole, 27, bought a disused Natwest bank in Penmaenmawr, North Wales, two years ago.
At that time, they only sold it for 31,000 pounds, and they just wanted to give it a try, and they won it unexpectedly.
After 30 days, they got the keys.
The seller said: The building has been vacant for nearly 10 years and has fallen into disrepair.
Walking into this building, it is completely uninhabitable.
The couple had to start construction from scratch.
They demolished 75% of the walls and replaced two roofs, 8 new double windows, and remodeled the bathrooms, kitchens, ......
The wiring system was also replaced, and a fire alarm device was installed. Because it is very humid, it is also dehumidified.
After a few months of busy work, it was finally transformed into a shop and a two-bedroom apartment.
Today's house is full of the warmth of home.
At the same time, you can also see the shadow of the past bank.
After the renovation effort, the couple invested £60,000 in the process.
Today, the property is valued at £250,000.
Ryan said:
This town of almost 3,000 inhabitants has a very nice sandy beach. Locals are happy to see the dilapidated bank get a new lease of life.
Netizens said:
I love people saving old buildings
It's a beautiful way to preserve history
They did a good job. Internally, I might choose a different direction, but that's just my idea.
What do you think?
