The Kitchen

All I can show are the pictures here.  This is turning into a very large project and we're not quite sure where to begin.

The first pictures show the kitchen when we first viewed the house.  The latter pictures are where we are today.... So far we have bricked up a side door, discovered two original doors - one at the back corner of the house and one on the opposite side where the window is.  


To start with, we will restore the original door frame - for two reasons: 1. It's a good position to enter the garden. 2. The brick work from the outside is so poor, it's going to be more cost effective to replace the brickwork with a door than replace the brickwork, full stop.


The next stages could include anything.... anything from bricking up the windows, opening the windows up, taking the partitioning walls down, raising the ceilings, lowering the floors, taking down the tiles.  Electrics, re-wiring, plumbing, removing old pipes and the list goes on.

The kitchen as work in progress

The original door frame found behind the units on the left hand side - see the red frame? This window may need to go!

The side door on the right hand side, all bricked up, ready for making good and eventually some plastering.

The little utility/bathroom at the back of the kitchen - these walls have got to go and this window will need to be opened up into a gorgeous garden facing window and some fresh, bright blinds to allow lots of light in.

This is the little toilet room to the right of the utility area pictured above.  As you can see, this is where the door way was bricked up.  We've found out that this was probably the outside WC, brought inside only 40/50 years ago.

Watch this space!
