The next renovation project is underway


3 bedroom property in Lydney. Two minute level walk to Tesco and the sports centre. Next to the park. Walking distance to train station.

Needs complete modernization.
Currently has very small downstairs bathroom - will become cloakroom
Needs rewiring. New Kitchen and convert upstairs bedroom to bathroom. Extension. New ceilings. Completely re-plastered. All new doors, skirting etc. Roof not bad, floors OK. Windows fine. New front and rear doors. New combi-boiler and pipework to radiators. New water connection (as old is lead into property).
3 years we reckon.

We took two weeks removing many layers of wall paper, removing mouldy carpets and rotten skirting/architrave. 

Stripping out old water tank (gravity fed from header tank in small bedroom).


Joc removing wooden coving and strange wooden strips that criss-cross ceilings.


It took 3 years in the end. It provided hours of entertainment (ha), took a huge bite out of savings... but ended up pretty tidy:

All new kitchen

Dining area other side of kitchen

Lounge

Hallway with new doorway to downstairs cloakroom

Cloakroom

Master bedroom

2nd bedroom

Upstairs bathroom
