No problem


I would have pulled down the low ceiling in the lounge to make a "Cathedral" ceiling with some velux roof windows to add more light and possibly solar panels to generate more energy.

I could have done a much better job;)

There is a bit more to making a "cathedral" effect than pulling down the 20mm (?) plaster board, Unless you want to expose a forest of ties and struts.
Your would need an "active ridge" and considerably "taller" common rafters. Then you would need to up the "U" value of the considerably increased thermal envelope of the building.
Something like "Celotex" might do the job at a price, because you won't want to be into the "frozen smoke" level of "lambda" values.

Do it soon before the regulations get changed once more.

All the internal shots are dodgy.

Pity there's no room plan, I'd like to have seen where the lounge/diner that's over 60' long fits in.:rotfl:

To quote "This bungalow has been totally refurbished with lots of detail and care..." which is more than can be said for the agent's efforts. Are they even sentient?

Ah, just noticed where it is.....:):whistle:

We got some good advice from Leonard Cheshire Disability when it came to adapting a family member's home - installing a wet room, through-the-floor lift, widening doorways, etc.

Thanks for the heads up.
