If it's that old it needs to breathe - filling between the lath and presumably lime plaster and the solid stone walls with anything modern might not be a good idea. Just hope my offer gets accepted tomorrow! Going to be a massive job, but well worth it. Also planning to build a 3 car garage, but that'll be 2014's project! There is also a boiler room, and an outside storage in stone approx 45m2. Top floor is storage at the moment, but is already an open space 105m2 and floored ripe for conversion to the extra 2 bedrooms and another bathroom. It's on three floors, basement will be the boyz room, approx 270m2 space will house the cinema room, pool table, bar, and gym with sauna and 2 bathrooms.įirst floor is 254m2 and will house the kitchen, dining area, lounge, kids TV room, study, bathroom, utility room, DVD room and a 30m2 entrance hallway front the main front door.Ģnd floor is 4 bedrooms, all ensuite, inc master bedroom 7x 6m with ensuite of 4x3m and dressing room. If i Can get it to go ahead ill post loads of pictures for you all. Scale is big, and so is the amount of work it needs!īeen round again today for another look and I've got hundreds of pictures, but I'm going to hold off just now until I get confirmation of my offer beng accepted by the sellers, before posting loads of pics online. Plan is to have two boilers n the house, and two seperate systems. The main reason for trying to help insulate things now is to keep fuel bills down in the future. Thanks for the advice so far, I'll look into the ideas. So there will definitely be some more questions ahead! When its all finished and providing I don't run out of money! House is about 875m2 / 9,400sq ft and set in approx 3/4 of an acre and would include 7 bedrooms, pool room, gym, boys den with bar and home cinema room. If I get the property ill also be looking at starting a thread on the renovation, if anyone's interested? If not its going to be a question of removing all the lath and insulating with celotex or kingspan and then re-sheet in plasterboard. One of the things I want to update is the insulation in the building, as it was built in the mid 19th century using stone and finished walls inside using lath and plaster, and I'm pretty sure thes nothing behind it at all!Ī lot of the rooms feature nice cornices and skirting a which I would like to preserve, so I'm trying to work out if there are any good methods of insulating behind the walls whilst keeping the finish intact. I'm just in the process of trying to buy a big old house and refurbish it to become my main home.
