We do not own the river but have to pay for for clearing anything in our section which is quite long. The sound of the water is wonderful from anywhere in the house. It will be our home one day, it was bought back in 2014. Don't leave it too long before you achieve your dream. It's always later than you think. Wishing you both well. If it does not get started this year it will go up for sale. We were origionally converting both floors but the plans are changed to just convert the first floor which will be quick and easy to do. It is worth a lot more than we paid for it.

‘ The old windows were a perfect fit and improve the building in my opinion.‘ I take it that is meant aesthetically as opposed as in the questionable use of resources and energy savings? We just popped the windows in to improve the look of the building we are selling, single glazed drafty old windows are not much use for anything but in certain areas BDF are saying no to solar roof panals and double glazing which makes no sense.

Delighted to be wrong!
And very jealous in the nicest possible way, make sure you give up all the other stuff in good time not only to achieve the swansong but also to enjoy the journey.
Too many other houses to finish off before we can start on that one. We do have a plan B though.

I thought that was going to be the keeper and your final home.
Sounds like you have found somewhere even better or have you made a pragmatic decision about what living in a chocolate box would really be like in advancing years?

It should be the final home but we have seven houses just now that are in various stages of renovation or update and thats what earn us our money, they come first. The work should start this summer if all goes to plan, it will be quick to get dome.
