Description

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER! (2024)

The debut home improvement and inspirational interiors guide from Greg Penn, aka Man with a Hammer, who took on one of Britain's biggest DIY projects.

Many of us dream of a renovation project, but few would be brave enough to take on a 8,200-square-foot, 30-room, 5-storey Georgian mansion on only a shoestring budget. But that's exactly what Greg Penn did, buying the near-derelict Admirals House and embarking on an ambitious restoration plan.

In this beautiful book, Greg tells the story of his remarkable home, its rich history and shares his renovation and interiors advice, budget-friendly tools and hacks - readers will journey through Admirals House room-by-room, witnessing how each has been lovingly restored to its former glory.

Man with a Hammer is a visual feast and a manifesto on 'having a go' and tackling the undoable with understated elegance and optimism.

About the Author

Greg Penn has 20 years' experience in the sales industry, yet in 2019 he swapped his Yorkshire life for the Devon coast, and a 30-room Georgian house in need of a massive renovation, one that would take years to complete but is documented in his first book, Man with a Hammer. A self-professed DIY guy, Greg restored an uninhabitable Victorian town house in Darlington and is now tackling a project 10 times bigger. He has been documenting the journey of Admirals House from the moment he moved in to his 287k followers invested in his journey. Greg has been featured in some of the biggest UK print and media, including The Times and The Telegraph and works closely with many of the UK's most well-respected interiors brands.
