We're currently looking for a new house having accepted an offer on ours before Christmas - so far our buyers have been very patient but they won't wait for ever and we're really struggling to find anything we like. We were hoping for a period property (our current house is a Victorian terrace with lots of period features) but one of the areas we really like is quite expensive and the older houses are out of budget so we've started looking at houses on a small 80`s estate there - but so far they don't seem particularly charming.
How do you make a modern property more characterful and interesting? Would it look silly to add stripped wooden doors, for example? I'm a bit lacking in imagination and experience of this age of property, and have no idea what would work and what might make it look like a theme pub - help!
