Couple Buys Double-Decker Bus, Turns Into Their Dream Home (35 Pics)

When Charlie MacVicar, and her partner Luke Walker, wanted to move in together, they weren’t excited about the thought of the financial burdens of owning a home. Things like a mortgage and all the upkeep that come with owning a house can be overwhelming. So they decided to look at alternative options.

Charlie’s dad owns property in Essex, United Kingdom that they could use if they wish. Instead of buying a house, the couple decided to buy an old double-decker bus and turn it into their dream home and it’s unreal. We’ve seen bus renovations before but none like this.
