What does your house look like?

Nowhere near as grand as any of you guys but its starting to get where we want it.

And how it looked with the Pebbledash

Great work - similar to ours (also a project):



4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 reception rooms, 80ft rear garden, extension to the rear and large parking area out the front.

Caravan has gone (was the previous owners), needs a lot of work inside: So far, re-done the family bathroom and decorated my little boy's room.

Plan:

• Replace three windows upstairs (Landing and two rear bedrooms)
• Have chimney taken out and re-plaster rooms upstairs
• Extension on the front (remove porch and come out roughtly to the bottom step) and replace all windows at the front
• Re-render the house
• Loads of other bits and bobs

Currently doing a little bit of work on my driveway to make extra car parking spaces. In the meantime I have my own offroad course

Where did those 7 years go!

Seven years seems like only yesterday - OK, maybe a year or two. How time flies!

Moving here very soon. Little Elizabethan corn mill that doesn't need that much work, however the grounds really do. Looking to put a small extension on later.

My little pad, not as grand as some but not bad for a first house I don't think. Off street parking, bigish shead and garden. Well I like it anyway

GetCarter, that is lovely! Great location too.

My little croft and Steading:



We bought it in 2006, converted the steading (350m2, 3 years and a lot of grey hair) and rent the croft to my inlaws. The grounds still need a lot of work - 3 acres of steep woodland and 3 acres of paddock that is ostensibly our back garden. Need to build a garage/workshop!

Hi - that's my mum's old house! Black corsa out the front belongs to non-attached post man neighbour

I rented it off of my mum from 2007-2008. Let me know if you need to know anything as my Step Dad had owned it since it was brand new!

Awesome you have a mini van as well! (fellow owner)

Would be interested to hear about it over here if you ever have the time.

Building looks like a nice project too.

Was that a pricey job? I have pebble dash, hate it , but never thought of rendering.

Be interested in this as well.

I've had it for years but always thought it would be a pig of a job to remove and render. Thought about painting it but then I'd have painted pebbledash which still looks a bit st but in another colour.

There's a big square window (like a barn door, really) and a stone mullioned window on the other side, a set of mullioned windows on the other gable. I'm looking to build an extension on the side you can see in the picture, that's basically a glass box with a big opening into the main bit. That and a few skylights should hopefully make it light enough. It's listed but the listing buildings fellow seems to be pretty reasonable so far.

3 years and lots of living in mud and diggers, this is how ours currently looks.



Misty morning paddock, not horsey types though so next March it will gain a few sheep.
