Restoration

These are pictures of the hall in 1992. The walls were very wet and plaster was falling off in most of the rooms. To make the building habitable all the carpets, wallpaper and loose plaster was stripped

The fireplace in the front room was restored allowing a solid fuel stove to be installed and the immersion heater was later removed to make space for a shower after a combi boiler was fitted

The floor boards weren't tongue and groove and were very uneven. Laminate flooring was laid in the kitchen and front room and the bedroom floor boards sanded. We also discovered that the bath was made of concrete. It sits on large joists the size of railway sleepers!

There has been a lot of patching up over the last 25 years or so and some slight alterations. A new roof was fitted in 2016 and a new kitchen installed in 2017.
