Uh-oh! These two Dutch-style canal houses are badly in need of repair and renovation after a fire and break-in. You bought two properties and planned to knock them together... but then planning permission came along. Local regulations say that the historic facings needs to be preserved so that, from the from the street at least, it still looks like not much has changed... inside and in the the back though, you've got a free hand to modernise. #FixMeLilSimsie #Dutch #CanalHouse
