Room With a View (by littlestschnauzer)
The majority of recent work carried out on the house has felt a bit like we've been going backwards, with many rooms taken back to their bare bones. In some cases, we've had to go farther than that! Anyone who owns a home built in the early 20th century will no doubt be familiar with the lath and plaster style walls, and this is what we've encountered throughout out house.
In many of the rooms, the plaster was loose and starting to come off the walls. Since the house needs rewiring anyway, we made the decision to remove all the plaster and slats and basically build brand new walls using plasterboard. As you can see on the images above, we really are having to go backwards to go forwards!
The master bedroom was one of the rooms that needs the least work doing to it. A lot of the changes are mainly going to be aesthetic, although today we revealed that there was an original fireplace in the corner of the bedroom! The next stage therefore will be to remove the plaster and see if it can be made into a feature. The floorboards which we'd originally dismissed are also in very good condition and could potentially be used given a sand and a varnish.
One of the main reasons, if not the main reason, we fell in love with the house was it's stunning views. Anyone who knows the area will know how beautiful Flockton and the surrounding areas are, and we're lucky enough to look out onto these views. A lot of the work we're doing to the house is to maximise these views, so we can be looking out onto them as much as possible. Those with a keen eye will spot Emley Moor mast, and you may even be able to spot a Pheasant or two!
The cellar was previously only accessible by taking the outside steps and entering through the ground external door. The original stairs had been covered up with floorboards to create a cover that had been used to house the fridge-freezer. As Sarah and I want to use the cellar as living space though, having to constantly go outside obviously wasn't feesible, so we decided to open up the exisiting stairs.
We did this using a crow bar and a sledgehammer. It was hard work, but really was worth it! As this was the first step we have taken to really mould the house into the image we have, this was probably the first time it started to feel like our home.
