Striplight


This light fitting is my personal favourite. It's in Ella's bedroom, though we've had to dissuade her from using it in case the dust sets off the smoke alarm...

Switch


It's the little touches that make a house a home.

Ding Dong

North-facing hall, but the 1960s design means huge windows and plenty of light. Oh and that doorbell. Avon calling.

Skip

Thoughtful of them to leave such a collection of glass and rubble....



Some alternative rear views. The garden faces south.

Backside


Not sure the rear view's any better. Note the 'smoking shelter' and sliding aluminium windows, which have to be seen working to be believed.

Greenthumb came out to kill the moss. Apparently its removal will leave 40 bin sacks for the tip....

Glorious


The house in it's full, unrenovated glory, boasting original features alongside more recent additions, like the three inches of moss coating the roof.
Cedar cladding was quite the thing in 1961.
