A 500-year home in the British countryside has undergone a dramatic renovation.
The homeowner, Michelle, purchased the property in 2019 and is still renovating it.

Michelle, a homeowner from the UK, purchased her multimillion-pound home in Windsor, England, in May 2019.

Michelle declined to disclose the exact price of the home, though she told Business Insider it's a stone's throw from Lambrook School, where Prince William and Kate Middleton's three children go.

The seven-bedroom, six-bathroom home also has a lake, a pool, a 5-acre garden, a 4.5-acre paddock, and much more. Take a look inside.

The 500-year-old home was in bad condition when Michelle bought it in 2019, but she was sold before ever stepping inside.
