Build a new home or renovate an old property? 

Kieran McCarthy offers his expert view on what to consider when deciding to either build or renovate 

A renovated bungalow will have some connection to the original house, though with the caveat that you will be a little restricted in your new design by the original structure. This was a new/replacement build and a Home of the Year finalist in 2018

Hi Kieran, 

My wife and I have recently inherited one and one-third properties: an old farmhouse we fully own, and a 1970s bungalow, approximately 1,300 sq ft, which my two sisters and I now own between us.
