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):And how it looked with the Pebbledash
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

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

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.
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.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.

THat looks stunning. Are there any windows? It looks dark
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.Gassing Station | Homes, Gardens and DIY | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
