The last few days have seen me on roofs, on scaffolding and to-day high up on a mini multi-storey block of flats in Westbury Park, but with the name that it was given I could have been forgiven for thinking I was in North Somerset! The block was, if memory serves me right, designed by a well known Bristol architect, who lived in the top floor apartment – a real 'pent house', because it was the only top floor flat and not a flat on the top floor shared with others, if you see what I mean! (See last Wednesday). Well he moved out and someone else moved in, but that was over seven years ago and anyway, I was not looking at that pent house, but a flat on a lower floor! It was fine, but my Client will have do re-model the flat, new kitchen and bathroom and cloakroom, possibly a new boiler and certainly refresh the decorations and will then have a charming home in which to live. Any drawbacks? Well the lift is small. It serves all floors, but will only take three people, but they will have to know each other very well, and only then if their combined weight does not exceed 280Kg!. Still, living on the second floor, a lift should not really be necessary, should it, unless you want to get to know your neighbours... more »
