    Would have to paint all that wood in a nice white shade to match the existing exterior and interior, panel in and paint the staircase in a nice white, replace the door and windows with UPVC ones, partition off the sleeping area and put in a false ceiling upstairs and in the kitchen.

    This is why it's cheap

    Agent!!!8217;s notes
    !!!8226; The Old Gatehouse currently has planning as a holiday let; changing its status to full residential should be a fairly straightforward planning procedure, subject to planning.
    !!!8226; There is an agreement between the previous owners (The Vivat Trust) and Historic England that has approximately two years to run. It precludes any lending on the building and the owner!!!8217;s need to open the house to the public (to be agreed with HE). This, however, shouldn't hinder or impinge on the use of the building.
    !!!8226; An ongoing maintenance schedule is provided for the next two years.
    !!!8226; A recent onsite meeting with Historic England raised the possibility of re-instating the lost wing to the south east of the building. The consensus was that an oak-framed modern extension would be respectful to the original frame. This could add another reception room and a further bedroom/bathroom, subject to planning.
    !!!8226; The garden/land to the rear is on a 46 year lease from the owner of The Old Rectory next door (currently under The Vivat trust name).
    !!!8226; The access and land to the front is classed as !!!8216;no man!!!8217;s land!!!8217;; unencumbered access has been given for the past 550 years and so the current owners have an insurance policy to protect this access.

  • Anyone remember sponging? Where you applied 3 or 4 adjacent shades of pastel to the wall using a sponge?

    You ended up with an effect a bit like this

    Very unambitious. I would be looking to knock everywhere through into everywhere else.
