Heh! Thanks!! We've been collecting a few bits and bobs for the house!

We have an Aga, an original victorian roll-top bath, some belfast sinks etc!

When we can afford it, we'll be getting a nice original front door for it and re-instating the sash windows! Whether they're new, double glazed wooden ones, or original single glazed, we're not sure yet.

First thing's first - getting in before the new year - (before stamp duty!! )

Smith and Jones Joinery of Chard can help you out with windows

I reckon you should put one in the garage then make like a porch kind of thing off of it with wood and some corregated plastic as a shelter and then put the other mini under that

Exciting! It looks to have lots of 'potential' Def. crying out for sash windows at the front, it will look lovely

Congrats to you both!!

We have considered a massive car-port, lol Although - I don't want it to look out of place, lol

I think a big garage is called for in the future!


Aw, thanks Amy!! You'll have to pop round in the new year!

[xBR4DLEY]

Maybe extend the garage lol

[shedonwheels]

lol, you need a bigger garage i think! the space down the side is prime for massive long carport (you can make it wooden with nice flowers growing over it etc ). Can't wait to come and see! club meet at jeans??

Painting party, I think!!

Maybe on the day of the Malvern Mini show - I am only 4 minutes away, now!

Lots and lots of potential!
The Garage, The cellar, the porch, what to do first?! I would go mad deciding if that was me!

So where is it?

[Timtom]

Looks really nice Bean!, You should definately sort out the porch ! Get double glazing when you sort out the windows also because otherwise all your monies will be floating out the windows in heat!! Same with making sure you've got good insulation in the loft!

Looks really funky though. Love the ideas you've got - Aga! etc, Cellar as a darkroom is such a good idea. you'll have no better place to have it!.

Good luck! keep us updated.

I would want the cellar as a games room / parts storage room!

That drive is huggggge! And a larger garage has to be done! and perhaps a room above the garage?!

[bamby]

Oh my God!! That house is flapping gorgeous! no wonder you're in love with it

hope all goes well looks like a fantastic project

[Goldie1275]

This is amazing Jean, well done, I love the house, and the rooms look HUGE on the inside, like a real mini haha, have many great years there i hope. I'd love to find a house with a drive and garage like that! I'd kill for a garage!
much love xxx
