I have just been to see a small, but perfectly formed flat, a short stone’s throw from the ‘village’, well a reasonable throw from the village, actually quite along throw, but an easy walk away! It needs a great deal of ‘TLC’, but, because it is small the cost should not be prohibitive. Each of the rooms has natural light and ventilation, well at least light, ventilation will follow when the windows are eased, or in this case, probably replaced, even though they are UPVc and double glazed – they’re just not working! A new kitchen and bathroom will need to be installed, possibly gas central heating, if gas is available, otherwise oil filled electric on peak, but timed radiators will need to be fitted, after ditching the old nigh storage heaters and then redecoration. Oh and we mustn’t forget the drainage – the man hole was full of you know what that needs to be cleared and then we can see what caused the blockage. Anyone know a man with drainage rods???   more »
