open plan visioning…
We’ve reached the stage in our renovation journey, where we’ve been thinking of the next stage. Our stone house is now renovated – or, at least renovated as far as we want to go. We could have a (modest) swimming pool built, but being realistic, we have weighed up how much use it would actually get v the costs of installation and upkeep. It’s a lovely idea, but we think we’ve parked this particular project for now. We have just completed on the purchase of land & a small building to the rear of the house, and this is keeping us occupied, as we do the initial work we can do ourselves – tidying it up – without being able to rely on our builder, at the moment.
So, a decision was made, a few months ago, and having found another property we’d like to buy and renovate, we’re going to sell this house. The global pandemic that we all find ourselves in the midst of, has obviously put paid to any kind of real marketing, but we have a website and as soon as things start to settle down and some normality returns, we will pick up on these plans again. The property we are interested in, is very, very different to our current house. In fact, very different to anything we have ever lived in – or ever imagined living in. We don’t want to give too much away, but if it all works out, we’ll be living our lives in a very different way. The building is an old industrial unit and largely open plan, one one level. It does have rooms, but the walls are only partition and so the plan would be to reconfigure the space, but retaining a huge open plan area. So, I’ve been researching…
Because of the style and construction of the property, we think it will lend itself to an industrial style interior, and so I’ve been drawn to the feel of the above spaces. It’ll be another leap into the unknown, but we’re very excited at the prospect of what could lie ahead. Might have to get in touch with Kevin McCloud…
