Front of Cottage now it's done.

it all looks very nice janey.........

Very smart.

oh janey it looks lovely, like a real cottage lol,,, you know what i mean, love the stone bare like that ;o)) you must be made up with it

Thanks girls....:o) It has some pieces of wood here and there where the old windows were originally...and for years it used to be a shop. To the left is the shed/garage which we had re-roofed and Ian's busy painting it stone coloured to match, when he's knees let him, so little by little.....

It's lovely Janey , warm and friendly , cosy looking home and I love that colour green , you must be thrilled with it and so pleased that the work is practically finished at long last x

really lovely Janey...

Yes we are pleased with it Amy...it took a bit of getting used to, after the cream it was.....but love it now...:o))
Thanks Elsie...:o)

Looking very pretty.

looks lovely Janey, is it georgian?

Thanks Gem and Mageth,,,,yes it is late Georgian, there were papers that came with it dating from the late 18th century. The rendering which was on was actually stucco which had been finished like blocks of stone....it was in such bad repair though and was causing damp problems, that it was best to take it off and get the air circulating round. The stone is just basic stuff, not faced, that's why the edges are much softer.

Really lovely Janey....brilliant stonework...and love the colour of your door !

Thanks Bb....:o) It is a nice Old England green isn't it...:o)))

:o)))

Looks splendid, love the mellow colour of the stone, beautiful cottage.

Beautiful cottage. Old houses seem to have a lovely feeling of warmth to them.

Pleased you like it Dotty and Linda........it's nice to see it how it would have originally been.....:o)

Oh Janey, you have a beautiful home. Your stone is gorgeous, you must be thrilled with the finish :-))))

Aw Dawn....many thanks.....yes we're really pleased, to the left there is an attached garage which Ian's just finished painting a stone colour...so it's all tying in nicely...:o)

Lovely, lovely...you are very fortunate to live in such a beautiful cottage...and the hard work was well worth the effort!
