Restoration
of derelict Georgian country house with Victorian annex
commenced April 2002. The front façade lead had
split enabling the guttering to leak into the brick work
and internal timbers. A 9 brick height difference had emerged
due to subsidence from north to south gable. Ivy had taken
a hold on South West gable, spreading through to the North
East of the building. All the floors were in the cellar,
little of the internal features remained….
