An old English country house. A romantic rambling garden. A new start.
Have you ever fallen in love with a house? What if you had to leave London and begin all over? Would you take the chance to live your dream?
Antique dealers Rosalind and her husband chanced upon Cranglegate, a rundown 17th century Grade II-listed building in the small market town of Swaffham, Norfolk. Rosalind takes us on a restoration adventure. Despite having two young children, the couple transform a tired house into a terrific home. The foreword contributed by Rosalind's architect son would fascinate architectural history buffs. Funny, whimsical and optimistic, this illustrated memoir of an antique dealing family's transformative journey will capture your hearts.
If like architectural history, English country life and family stories, you'll love Cranglegate.
