Cottage Renovation
 


This follows the renovation we have and are doing to our cottage.

When we bought the property in September 2001 it was actually split into 2 tiny cottages. Cottage number 1 was the one which had been occupied and cottage number 2 was used as a store and consisted o one room downstairs and two small room upstairs. On the plan below, cottage number 2 was where we have the lounge and Bedroom 1. The challenge is that the 2 cottages are on different levels with cottage 1 ground floor being approx 4ft higher than that of number 2.
