This Grade II listed property is the true meaning of the phrase ‘glow up’.

The detached five-bedroom house in Canterbury was neglected and left to become a derelict building until the current owners bought it in 2015 and turned it into a stunning Georgian home.

The property, now on the market for £2m, was originally built in 1839. After it had fallen into disarray, the current owners constructed the new interior inside a steel structure.

The house is now a unique blend of modern and traditional, having been turned into a new build interior within the frame of a Grade II listed building.

There is still plenty of character, with nods to the building’s history such as the 150-year-old wood panelling, Georgian arched sash windows and black stone flooring.
