Original ceiling ripped down on second floor

We took the decision to take all the original ceilings down on the second floor and keep the landing open, as there are a few nice looking beams we can expose. I'll be putting a ceiling back in the second bedroom though. It means a little more expense on insulation for pitched roofs but should be worth it.

Beams in bedroom 2 but there will be a new ceiling put in here

The landing with new window on staircase. These beams will be left exposed.

Landing beams again


The little hole you had to crawl through to access the loft before

Steel and stone goes in to finish off the top of the big bedroom window.

Shell is Nearly Finished

The main construction of the shell is just about finished with some more internal bits to do but it's not far off now.

Walled up the third bedroom where you could see the original roof before.

Scaffold down on the right extension

New wall to replace existing stone as it took up too much room

The front of the house. Still waiting for roof on entrance porch.

The side of the house. Steel just needs to go in at the top to support the roof.
