Renovating Nince Towers
I decided to start my own thread I’m (almost) fully renovating my house - rewiring, reconfiguring the ground floor to create a kitchen/diner, removing a lean to. It was in a sorry state.
First I will attach the “before” pics from the estate agent and some I took myself...

Re: Renovating Nince Towers
The kitchen was hilarious - I lived with this for two years. Utilities were in the lean to.

At least you have a gas hob
Looking forward to seeing the after, although not half as much as you are I should imagine

And an update from the builder today - the kitchen is out and the kitchen wall is down!

Re: Renovating Nince Towers
It does look like a really nice house even though it needs some reconfiguration. Totally get why you bought and are doing the work. It's going to be lovely

Your lean to was so similar to mine! I do not miss it at all

Re: Renovating Nince Towers
I am so sorry to see it go; it was beautiful and not at all cold/boiling and leaky

Re: Renovating Nince Towers
Is your current dining room and living room all the one room? Will the dining room become the new kitchen?

Re: Renovating Nince Towers
Thank you! It is a lovely house but had been very neglected by the two previous owners. It really needed someone to come in and look after it.Cosmopolitan wrote: ↑Wed Apr 06, 2022 12:22 pm It does look like a really nice house even though it needs some reconfiguration.

Re: Renovating Nince Towers
Currently there is/was a living room/dining room in one - I used the front part as the living room unlike in the EA pictures. I am putting a wall back up between those two rooms and have knocked between the kitchen and dining room to create a kitchen diner the full width of the house.sally maclennane wrote: ↑Wed Apr 06, 2022 12:25 pm Is your current dining room and living room all the one?

Re: Renovating Nince Towers
This is the front room when I was living in it. It seemed silly having the dining table as far from the kitchen as possible, and they had to run the tv cable across the front of two fireplaces to use it

Re: Renovating Nince Towers
Thank you for indulging my nosiness
I really like having a separate living room. I love the kitchen diner but I wouldn't want it to be my only living space.
It'll be so good when it's done!

Re: Renovating Nince Towers
On the shot of the back of the house, note the soil vent pipe positioned under my bathroom and office window so I get the smell of sewage wafting in on a warm day. (This is being rectified.)

Re: Renovating Nince Towers
It looks lovely, other than the lean to! Similar house type to mine but so much nicer. And the garden looks massive - I can see they've used trickery to make it look longer but it still looks a lot bigger than average for a terrace?,

It's huge - far too big for me. About 80ft. I'll dig out a photo taken by me (it will look manky as I took most pics just after I moved in).

Garden. I'll have more lawn when they've finished as the new patio will start closer to the house (due to the lean-to being removed).
