The are two other Manor houses in the village; East End Manor, and Durrington Manor. I am in West End Manor. Durrington Manor is really nice. East End Manor is on Rightmove and is pretty earthy.
The gardener lives in a bungalow.

How did you get on with this:-

Well remembered! They had the plug pulled on it by planning. It was a ludicrous idea in the first place & I found out a couple of weeks back that the Alms House charity that run them have decided to put loft insulation to start with. Unbelievable they have been running those places with elderly people in & in 2013 they decide to put loft insulation in! http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

That looks very special indeed Bernhund. Any more pics please?
Thank you and the others who like it. I've grafted 6 days a week since I was 16 to end up with a house that I'm very proud of. That's 30 years of headaches and, although an attractive house, it's not huge by any stretch of the imagination. I could only afford to buy it in the first place because it was so neglected and full of rats!I've put it on a film locations agency hoping for some extra income from it. If you would like to see more, it's here http://www.lavishlocations.com/location.cfm?id=416...
^What a lovely house. Know what you mean about the spending. We were saying today about how every spare penny has been spent on the houses we've ever had. We have b*gger all in the way of savings, no holidays, etc, but a lovely place to live in. We could never have afforded this place is it hadn't started out looking like this...

Are you happy with the result. Judging from the pic I prefer the older look but I am old fashioned in my tastes.
The main differences are inside the house. What the photograph does not show is that I have brought both walls either side of the l shape out about 10ft. This has changed the whole interior layout for the better. In short I love it despite 5 years hard graft.

Blimey, that makes my one a doddle! If I hadn't done most of the work myself, it would be a white elephant. Though I like to think that irrespective of outlay, it's where we want to be and there's no price on that. I'll get carried out in a box!Turbodiesel1690 said:

thank pink house across the way must really piss you off!- Sigh - I wish I could say it doesn't bother me and that people are free to paint their own houses whatever colour they want etc but truth is it bugs the absolute f

My place lends itself to Christmas...the rest of the year it is freezing cold, expensive to heat, expensive to keep and in need of a shed load of cash spending on the stone. It has left me skint but I'd rather live in it than have all the money I've spent keeping it, in the bank.
Wow. What a fantastic looking place!

Can believe how many central Scotland posters I've never seen in the Scottish section of the forum - you do know there is one? http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/forum.asp?h=0&a...

It's got very old subsidence but it's not quite as bad as it looks in that pic!

Oyt of interest, how much could you expect to make from a film location company? I've put it on a film locations agency hoping for some extra income from it. If you would like to see more, it's here http://www.lavishlocations.com/location.cfm?id=416...
