Quite true what you say.. these renovation projects were never cheap. The owners of these old houses had money

The whole lot I will take down. this is an eyesaw in anyones language. The previous owner used it as a log store. The overhang now gone there was a water butt on it and a feed from a gutter downpipe now put on other side of conservatory.Why Bother? because the conservatory is being replaced from the dwarf wall up and UPVC instead of wood that is rotting being fitted in about 6 weeks.

This place was not maintained by the previous owner in any shape or form. It was left to them by the old lady who originally owned it who left it to them, they didn't give a damn about looking after it.
What kind of idiot builds right across a window? well he/they did.
You have heard of people being a plank? well this guy was the whole tree
