I am very pleased for you

It is not necessary to see the house. The only experts which matter are building control and by the time you have satisfied their requirements for sound and thermal insulation and fire protection you will not retain many original features.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. It is sometimes just not viable to retain a single oversized property in today's market.
However there is no point pretending you will be retaining the original character.0 -
Character to one person is another's anachromism, which is all a subjective opinion, I have had building control over already to talk about what is and is not feasible.0

If building control don't want too much then you're proposing to create an HMO, not flats.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
