After years of dreaming about life by the sea, Sarah and Nick Peasant finally made their wish a reality in 2021. They traded Surrey for the Dorset coast, seeking a complete lifestyle change with their three children, and took on a full renovation of an outdated 1980s house.
WHY WERE YOU LOOKING FOR A NEW HOME?
âWe were living in a four-bedroom semi in Surrey. Weâd spent summers visiting the Dorset coast and always said, âWeâd love to live by the seaâ, especially after my parents retired here. Then when my husbandâs job went remote, we decided to go for it. We looked all over the south coast, but having family in this area made it the obvious choice.â
WHAT MADE YOU CHOOSE THIS HOUSE?
âI didnât want a project, but Nick, coming from a family of renovators, was more open to the idea. The house was built in the 1980s and in need of work, but there was something about it â the location and potential â that made us want to take a closer look. Nick viewed it with my parents, and I joined on FaceTime. It was spacious and light and we agreed it could be perfect. We put in an offer the next day!â
