Cottage Renovation - Part 1

In March this year we bought a 'chocolate box' Cotswold stone cottage

A major project as it needs a new kitchen, bathroom, central heating, new windows and a major overhaul.  We intend to do a lot of the work ourselves only calling in tradesmen when necessary.

It is in a lovely semi rural setting on the edge of a village, with fields opposite complete with horses and a country style garden with apple and nut trees.

Our first few days were spent camping out downstairs as we were waiting for essential timber treatment to be carried out.  Once this was done we could move upstairs, however we were again ‘camping’ in the smaller of the two bedrooms with dusty floorboards and minimal furniture.  There is a third bedroom but an upstairs bathroom is planned for this space. 

We decided to start by putting a project plan together and getting quotes for the essential plumbing work and new windows and employing the services of an architect to advise on the necessary planning and building regulations we would need.  At this time we were also tackling an overgrown and neglected garden and making the cottage as habitable as possible.
