ChrisL 18 Posted February 15, 2020 Not sure if this is of interest to folks but over the past 18months we have been restoring/rebuilding a 1830’s bungalow. it was really damp and needed major work but had great potential. Anyway pics of when we bought it: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seanl82 23 Posted February 15, 2020 Need a bigger garage Chris! Looks like it has lots of potential as you say though mate, and a great plot in what looks like a cracking location! 👍 We've been doing similar over the past 2 years too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted February 15, 2020 Looks more 1930 (than 1830s)? My parents had a 1930s semi built with engineering brick, drilling any hole was a nightmare the bricks were so hard Expensive business renovating property Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucky you, we bought the worst house in the street, 1870s semi, damp, rot, cheap and nasty fixes, back to bare brick, all floors and ceilings replaced, kitchen and bathroom knocked down and rebuilt. Looking great so far Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
