The future owner of this property will benefit from not having to do any unexpected repairs or major works, everything has been carried out to the highest standard, nothing has been ignored or hidden.

The following is a brief description of the works carried out on the property, a comprehensive list of works and photographic documentation will be provided to the future owner on completion.

Entire new roof including the roof structure, an insulated warm roof system usually found on passive houses was chosen to prevent condensation associated with cold loft systems during the winter, and prevent extreme high temperatures in the loft during the summer, and it works very well.

The roof has new high quality natural slates, new lead work throughout, new bespoke cast iron drain pipe on the front of the building, and new Aluminium guttering on the rear of the building.

The entire front and rear of the building was repaired and repointed in Lime mortar, the front Lime Stucco mouldings restored, repaired, with some of the mouldings completely recast as original.

The popular historic shop sign is an exact replacement of the damaged original, hand painted by a well known local traditional sign writer.

Completely new Plumbing and Heating systems with new boiler, radiators, and drainage pipework.

Completely new Electrical system and all associated consumer unit, lighting, sockets and switches/dimmers.

TV, internet and phone points wired to all floor levels.

New Bathroom with underfloor heating, En-Suite, Cloakroom Toilet.

New Kitchen including external extraction, with plumbing and space for a Dishwasher.

The under stairs cupboard has sockets, plumbing, and space for a Washing Machine and Condensing Tumble Dryer.

All the internal carpentry was intensively restored and replacement bespoke made skirting and architrave installed throughout the building to match the originals that were missing or unsalvageable.

The original Internal and external doors were also intensively restored and fitted with new hardware and handles, they all open and close perfectly.

Entirely new plastering throughout the whole building, with solid internal walls replastered with traditional Lime plaster.

Though it could be acknowledged that the internal decor maybe a little neutral for some eclectic tastes when compared to some of the renovated properties in the local area, it must be understood that the focus and finance for this buildings restoration was concentrated on correctly repairing the decades of neglect, restoring the original features and modernising the essentials to keep the building dry, damp-free, warm, and reliable for a very long time.

It could be the choice of the new owner to put their interior design stamp on the property, without the usual additional unforeseen repair work associated with period property, safe in the knowledge they will not need to do additional work or worry about its longterm integrity.

Please note, the photography images of the property have been taken with a standard camera lens, not the wide angle type used by some, to exaggerate the size of the rooms.
