Couple's cramped bungalow is unrecognisable after incredible 80K makeover

Suzanne and Danny's home was cramped to say the least.

They were so short of room that they had to use the third bedroom for storage, meaning their two older kids had to share and their three-year-old daughter was in their room.

When they were eating dinner somebody had to stand up if one if one of them needed to get to the kitchen.

But now they have completely transformed their Bedfordshire home with an £80,000 renovation - and it's unrecognisable.

It might look like normal semi from outside - but it's 'one of the UK's most gorgeous houses'  

Their small cramped rooms, which made designer Suzanne and her music teacher husband feel like they "couldn't breathe", have been replaced by open planning living.

It also added to the size of their living area.

Controversial wedding trend is becoming more popular - but it's not for everyone  

The decor is modern and minimal, painted white with splashes of pastel pink and mint green.

There's a big dining table and sofa, with lots of space for the kids to play.
