10:19 Explanation
Thank you all for the support, tell me your opinion, I read you🥰
If this is an investment property, you should definitely put the second floor in for another bedroom & bathroom. Bedrooms, bathrooms & a good kitchen is what adds value! I’d definitely keep the aesthetics that’s in the bedroom through the whole house. That’ll be in keeping with the surrounding houses in the village. Idk if you’ve ever tried it, but you can take pieces of molding, cast it in silicone to make a mold that you can use over & over again. You can’t use epoxy in the mold, or plaster(but that’s not as strong) to recreate details you have. Another idea is to use a router to make detailed edges on some of your reclaimed boards. Your home is more modern, so you painted the old beams white. The bedroom in the new place is very traditional. I’d expose all the beams I could, sandblasted & just sealed. Same with interior stone/brick walls, just cleaned off & repointed. If you look at all the restoration projects in France, it’s those things that embraces the history of the house.
Wow! Such a motivating comment. Thanks All you said is a great idea.@@chrissyfrancis8952
I think the ground floor of the building should be used for commercial retail space. The small town should have a pharmacy, a restaurant or a post office. Locally, the municipality should be able to subsidize part of the remodeling for this purpose. The entrance to the house itself could be from the garage side. with a small fauier and the staircase to the rooms upstairs, two bedrooms, a small kitchen - dining room and a bathroom.
@@Diego_Leon another excellent thing about embracing the interior stone/brick walls but repointing them, it’s a lot less work & cheaper then framing & dry walling them. I’ve seen people chip all the old mortar out between rocks to run electric cables to light switches. They chiseled out space for the socket then repointed it. The window structure looked sound too. Saving the old windows & hardware, just replacing glass, will save you a lot of money & keep the history. I’ve renovated 2 houses & am restoring our (America)1898 house. I’ve restored everything right down to the old locking door knobs & hinges. So, I’ll gladly share ideas & tips! I saved & reused any wood I removed, doors too. That’s a huge savings. Big thing to remember with an investment property is it has to be functional for anyone & everyone. Permanent structures/finishes like floors, bathroom tile, etc should be more neutral. Buyers can change paint colors & faucets if they don’t like what’s there. The biggest key with investment properties is to not spend more on the remodel then the house will sell for. Good luck!! I’ll be following along.
Very good project !! Maybe make an open terrace on the roof for thé view and to compensate for the Lake of garden ?? You are very courageous ❤ love your vidéos
Congratulations on the acquisition of the new property. It has loads of caracter and potential. Personally, I would transform the loft into an en-suite bedroom and, at the far side open another window for an office area. On the 2nd floor (the amazing bedroom), I would keep all the original features and open up the two windows using them as light for an en-suite WC. Downstairs use it all as an open space kitchen, dinning room and lounge area . Where the "beautiful doors" are (old kitchen whatever area), I would build the staircase and in the stair case area, build a toilet & handwash basin toilet (no shower). I too would try to keep the beautiful original floor tiles for the kitchen area. In the living area having a wood burner is really nice making it cozy for Winter. Looking forward to seeing the great transformation you have for this one. 👍😉
It looks like it has loads of character and possibilities, I also love that you can see the church from the house. Looking at how much you've achieved with your property it is only logical to see an opportunity and go for it. Going to look forward to seeing how you design and develop this one too.👍
Thank You so much for this nice and motivating comment
Hi Diego & Joanna, how wonderful you’ve bought another place to restore, Congratulations!! Look forward to seeing more & you finishing your house. It will be great if you can make this new village house have at least 2 bedrooms, but you’re both so good at design & restoration I’m sure you’’ll do it so well. Hi from Johannesburg, South Africa
@vanessajamieson7420 Thank You so much Vanessa!!!
Восхищаюсь Вами, ребята!!! Очень интересный дом!!! С Новым проектом!!! Не даёте скучать подписчикам 👍🤗😉❗❗❗
What an interesting, likable, and forward thinker. This channel has gone international. I'm watching this couple of builders comments section. A lot of interest so I predict the one million goal will be achieved in eleven months. Place your bets here. Everyone commenting needs to subscribe though!
Congratulations on your new property. I would put back the whole second floor and also try to find a small outdoor spot to sip some wine, under the stars and enjoy the quiet of the village
If the window in the loft is enlarged, then is possible to have a glass of wine on the roof.
This looks like a great house for you to restore. It also fits with my suggestion that you continue doing this since you KNOW how to renew houses, you have the youth, and you have the tools, as you pointed out. Best of all, you two work together flawlessly. Up ahead, I look forward to enjoying your work; it could even be your future career! Saludos y hasta pronto…
Really good idea Diego , build yourselves a portfolio of properties while you're both young and fit. Buy them at good prices for cash , renovate them and rent them out , AirBnB is a good idea . Good luck with the new project
Thanks!
I think you're very focused young couple.
I think you will make this new house beautiful.
Keep up the character of the house and that bedroom.
I wonder, could you do a Juliet Balcon upstairs in the lovely bedroom, so the doors open in and you can sit enjoying a glass of wine!
Wow, nice town house. HUGE potential. I think this is one I would start at the top and work my way down. The attic really just needs finishing: insulation, wall board, lights and outlets. A quick easy job, and that gives you a site office. Also, as you work down, all the debris can be easily handled on the ground floor without potentially damaging any work you did before.
I suspect that small glass door must have been a laundry type room. I do like the general layout. Main floor bathroom, kitchen and living area, second floor two bedrooms and the attic as a studio-office and storage space. Very inspirational view!
It appears to be a small town, what sort of amenities are there? Would it be a potential tourist rental? Or more a rental for someone living and working in town? Anyway, I’m sure you’ve examined all that already.
Great project, it will be very interesting.
Absolutely love your willingness to embrace history and keep it alive. Also felt like I need to compliment your English. I can tell that it has improved greatly.
Looking forward to what is coming.
Wow, thank you!
I am actually excited about the village house renovation! The both of you are so skilled at what you do and it is great to have the opportunity to watch you work.
Thank you so much!
Holy smokes you are ambitious! Looks like a great project. Even if you cannot completely save some of the features there are creative ways to incorporate them into the final build. The bits of wallpaper attached to the plaster and of course the gorgeous tiles can be used, or showcased as art and history of what used to be. So happy to see you are branching out with your talent!
Very true! ❤️
Ces carreaux ciment sont les mêmes que ceux d'une maison construite en 1892, si cela peut vous donner idée de son ancienneté ! En tous cas vous faites bien de vouloir vous lancer dans la rénovation de maisons anciennes parce que vous êtes deux personnes volontaires, astucieuses et douées. Vous irez loin ! Bravo à vous.
The two of you are an inspiration for others to reach beyond their own personal abilities. Thank you for letting me tag along!!
thank you very much greetings
It looks like it was a business. a bakery or something. There are beautiful antique details. These birds on the plaster, frame if possible. The decorations on the cupboard and the floor tiles are worth preserving. It will be a wonderful house. just like your home. nice evening 👍🍀
I think so too, Thank You so much!
It must have been a bakery because the name of the street implies it, Rue de la Boulangerie.
Agree try to preserve the fresco and tiles.
Wow what a great surprise ! That upstairs bedroom with the windows is beautiful and the attic space for kids with single beds . Lots of good videos to come with these two projects . Smart move you two , congratulations !
I think you are very smart to invest in this home. Soon the other homes that are next to yours will be found out by people looking to have a home to either live in or just a nice place to go . Homes like these are getting very hard to find and they are getting very expensive.
I'm sure you two will turn this home into a beautiful place to rent out or have a rental apartment for people who are looking for a quiet place in the country to spend a few days or even longer to escape the city or tourists looking for a quiet place to stay.
The wood work in the upper floor with the fire place is amazing and I hope you can restore it back it's original condition.
I really like all the large windows and I would restore the two windows that were covered up . My feelings are when it comes to small places like this home is you can't have too many windows to allow as much light as possible into the room. My only concern is the condition of the roof on the adjacent home and if it leaked water that caused the connecting wall between the two homes to fail. You may need to fix the roof where it attaches to your home to stop any water from getting into the wall between your home and the home next to yours.
I love the atmosphere and the potential of this home. I think you bought at the right time and once you restore this old home I'm sure it won't be long before this village and the old homes are discovered and will be bought and restored. I can picture the street and how it once looked and once the other homes are restored it will be a beautiful place that's getting very hard to find and very expensive. This is going to be a great investment and in the future will gain in value. I'm excited for you and I'd love to fix this home up and live in this quiet peaceful village. You are willing to work to fix this old home and it will pay you a great return on your investment in the future.
It looks like it was so beautiful at one time. It will be again, I'm sure!
I hope you're able to keep some of the magnificent aesthetics of the original house...like the fireplace and moldings. Can't wait for you to start on this! ❤😊
thank you very much greetings
Нам теперь очень интересно смотреть и про новый дом тоже. Думаю что вы всё сделаете как надо, ведь у вас уже накопился опыт в этом деле.
That house is going to be amazing when you renovated you can doit and can’t wait to see the renovation starring 😍👍👵🏻
Can't wait!
Clever of you to take up the opportunity to complete a renovation where the hardest parts, the roof, and maybe some other hidden flaws, have been taken care of.
My idea is to use the whole attic as an indoor relaxation space ( because there is no garden)
with many relaxing areas to chill out and catch sun in winter.
Put lots of big windows in the attic that can be slid open for fresh air, leave the space as one large room. use the space as a sunroom with lots of plants.
Include a place to you can sit and relax in comfy armchairs
Add a kitchenette where you can make coffee and have breakfast,
gym/yoga space
Music room
Library
home office
Очень красивый дом! В нем есть большой потенциал. Очень интересно увидеть, что получится!!! 👍☺️
Wow! I love this house. It’s going to be so beautiful and cozy. You both are hard worker, so much ambition! Years ago I renovated my house… it took a long time but I enjoyed doing it. So, now I get to enjoy watching both of you. 💕
Thank you so much!
Smart move! Congratulations!
Поздравляю с покупкой! Будет очень интересно смотреть ваши видео с реставрацией. Мне бы захотелось восстановить хотя бы половину убранного пространства второго этажа. Но чтобы вы не придумали подходящее для вас , я верю, что будет очень красиво (у вас хороший вкус), удобно и комфортно.
Oh wow! That house is fantastic! I love the bedroom upstairs a lot. It just needs some TLC. I'm not crazy about the wallpaper, it's kind of a lot all by itself. The attic area would make an excellent office space! The small room that has the doors looks like it would be a perfect laundry area! What an exciting new project and a great investment for you. Congratulations! Can't wait to see what you come up with. Take care of yourselves!
Oh wow! A new house! I would open up that wall to the street in the garage and make it two rooms. One to hold the car and beside it, a space open to the street on one end, to sit and have a coffee and to have a few plants. I would want a small outdoor space and that would give me one sort of lol🤗 I believe there would be enough room, but it would be a huge amount of work and at least one massive beam to hold up the upper wall. Just a thought❤️🤗🐝
I see a litlee shop aswell planta outside with a bank for sit and Talk the old and Young people
Hello Diego and Joanna, congratulations on buying the new property. I think you made a good investment. You both have a good eye for seeing the bones and possibilities of the property and their buildings. Good luck with new property. ✌🏻❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸
Thank You so much 🇺🇲
Congrats on the purchase! Oh to be young and ambitious. Two years and a bunch of dollars.
It is going to take a lot of work but I believe you are both up to the task. So much potential. I for one will follow your journey.
I am so excited for you on your new project! I can’t wait to come along and watch that beauty come to life again!!❤️
Me too!!
"La Casa" una producción de Diego y Compañía.
Un nuevo proyecto empresarial en un pequeño pueblo, a poca distancia de la iglesia del pueblo.
Un nuevo y maravilloso proyecto de convertir una antigua casa en un pequeño palacio.
Próximamente en este canal, así que estad atentos.
eres genial😊😊😊
Мне очень нравится смотреть на результат вашей работы. Я смотрю все ваши выпуски. Вы молодцы! Помогай вам Бог. ❤❤❤
Exciting new project! I'm sure you both will enjoy it and it will be beautiful in time with your attention.
Je hebt een goede zet gedaan. Nu je nog jong bent kun je een tweede renovatie nog goed aan,lichamelijk gezien. Ik vind het een goede investering. Wat de toekomst brengt,verkoop of verhuur of als vakantie huis is nog ver weg. Daar kun je rustig over nadenken.Ik weet zeker dat jullie dit huis erg mooi en goed gaan maken.
It looks pretty rough but if anyone can fix it you two can. I watch Life of Ryan and he is fixing a similar house in France. He had to take out all the floors and beams and start over so at least that is already done for you.
Oh, this is so very exciting!! I am stoked for you guys!
Hello you two, I have just seen the latest video.
I admire your courage and the risk of taking on such a big new project.
I wish you the best of luck with it and lots more inspiration.
Очень-очень интересно! Давно смотрю ваши видео. У вас с женой золотые руки и большая сила воли! С удовольствием буду смотреть, что вы сделаете с этим домом. Может восстановите 2 этаж? Камин просто замечательный! Уверена, что у вас всё получится!!!
Oh I’m excited by your new project! If anyone can make it into a beautiful home, you two can. You both have such great vision and can see potential where others see ruin.
Thank you so much!
Very nice airbb potential. No garden to maintain quaint village lots of potential to explore the area. I'd love to stay there.
Your parents and families must be so proud of youboth,your a lovely young couple that are going places 😊❤😊❤
Congrats to a new property! I think the ground floor will be good for a rent to a small business, like a bakery, small shop or a pharmacy. You can also have your local municipality subsidise you for this project, or maybe get you a good credit. You may also have a lot of help from the local community. If you make a separate entry to the second floor, you can rent it as well. So it is a hood investment and you made a smart choice 🥰🙏
Hope you put the floor back in to give enough bedrooms, etc. it will be interesting to see you fix it up.
That's the plan!
The new house project looks like a former noble house it has the details of one. Great project. The floors are beautiful. There are businesses in France that specialize in old tiles from homes like yours for restoration. You are a smart couple, investing in real estate . Glad you will still work on and finish your current home.
Well done on getting a second property. I'm looking forward to seeing how you renovate it 😊
Congrats! Very exciting! I look forward to watching your journey with this new house.
Looking forward to seeing this new house become beautiful again!
Im glad to see ayoung couple buy and restore in your country ,so much history and rich cultural value there. You 2 will make it beautiful, ive no doubt.❤
We will!
Hola Diego y Johanna,los felicito por el nuevo proyecto de reconstrucción y restauración .Ya tenemos más videos garantizados a futuro cosa que es muy grata de ver por el esfuerzo ,arduo trabajo y superación de ustedes dos como familia .Abrazos gigantes desde Chile 😘🇨🇱❤️😻
Oh my goodness, I can’t believe what you’re going to be doing! I’m excited for you two. 😁
Thank you!!
Great stuff guys, do it while you are young!!! I would reinstate the first floor that was removed to give you an extra room and space to put the attic stairs. There's plenty of potential! Looking forward to seeing the project take shape!!!
What a great project. I hope it is not too far from your house to make working on the two simpler. Good luck! We know you can do it. xx
Смотреть ваши видио большое удовольствие! Мы воодушевляете! Удачи во всех начинаниях!!!!
Wow, this new house is absolutely gorgeous! ♥♥♥I can see so much potential here and I'm very excited to see what you guys do with it. My first thoughts are that when restoring this house, you should try to keep a vintage feel throughout. Old style furniture and decor too, being in France it will be easy to find old things. The attic would make an amazing study with such a beautiful and inspirational feel. a desk facing out the window if the layout allows. Definitely use it as a rental/AirB&B. I'm sure even viewers of the channel would love to visit.
I love how your current home is a mix of modern and old, it's nice to live that way, but your side project should be old vintage where possible.
Joana looked so scared going up the big ladder, I could never do it ! 😨
I would make this house like a country cottage feel, with oak beams and oak fireplace, all window seals in oak, counter tops in oak with a white mat finish back drop on the walls in the kitchen, all doors in oak or oak finish, we see the house as a one or two bedroom, is there space for a small Balcony at the top of the house maybe going into & through the roof? If so then I would expand if regs allow it. It would be wise to give it the love it deserves as the potential to sell or rent will exceed other houses around it and not impede its value if you were both to put 100% into it, from past experience of your methodical work I believe you can both pull this off to a zenith level of excellence, Regards Sharon.
Hola, Diego and Joana! Sitting patiently for today's episode.
Me too! Rsrsrs
Looking at what you’ve done already on your house and what both of you guys are capable of, I’m sure this house also will ultimately look exquisite.
Congratulations for your newly bought house! It has a great potential, it's a good investment.
You two will have a lot to do, I suppose you could have a new UA-cam channel dedicated to this new house, looking forward to watch your future videos.
Happy Sunday to you and all your subscribers ❤ Oh a new place....here we go
Glad there are things already done, hope no big surprises when you get into it. You can restore it for sure.
Du hast eine große Leidenschaft entwickelt zum Bauen und renovieren, da wundert es ,mich nicht, dass Du ein neues Projekt gefunden hast. Da bist Du nicht der einzige und nicht der erste, der so entscheidet. Wirst ja sehen, wie weit Deine Möglichkeiten reichen.
😍
Здоровья побольше ))) -как закончишь проект с домом , ждем проект "Мы купили старый замок" 🤣
The entrepreneurial spirit of these two is SO SATISFYING!
Love the new house!
thank you very much!!
❤ You have made good move to buy this house. It will make good renting or B&B income to support more projects. Good thing roof and some walls already renovated. Try to have optimum bedrooms with en-suites to maximise income. Really looking forward to seeing the progression as you both have time. ❤️❤️
Great, so we are not running out of videos soon. Looks like you will need I-beams and noggins soon :-). Btw. the 100k is not far away!
What a stunning and cosy little town house. It's going to be interesting to follow the renovation and see what you guys will do to it. Cheers from Denmark.
The house looks like the ones they sell in Italy for €1 with conditions to revitalize an area. Of course you two will make it beautiful.
(the hen's lay area & pen really need attention)
I think this is in better condition than 1euro houses in Italy.
@@keagleeagle821
yes and way better location.
but houses in italy are a scam, if you want to do some diy, your are .... in italy. you cannot do any thing,
lots of papers and every thing gets expensive. thats why people move to spain portugal france etc.
@@johanv4668 Not a scam if you know the conditions of purchasing
This is an amazing starter home for a young family. I would put back the second floor for an additional bedroom, bathroom and walk in closet. The attic could serve as a home office and storage space.
There used to be so much space downstairs. You can use the room with the beautiful glass doors as a utility room.
The d trance hall is huge. You can put in lot of built in cabinets to create a mud room with lots of storage.
This house has a lot of potential and is very charming. Congratulations on your purchase. It was a good choice and a great investment into a future income property.
Очень интересно будет наблюдать за ремонтом и реставрацией этого дома. Очень понравилось окно в ванной комнате и светлая спальная на втором этаже. Думаю,стоит открыть те два замурованных окна. Добавится пространства,воздушности и света. Конечно ,обои надо будет менять, но я бы сохранила в рамочке кусочек этих старинных обоев, где- нибудь возле камина. Как память о прошлом этого дома. На первом этаже невероятно красивая плитка на полу. Удачи вам в возрождении этого прекрасного дома. Очень красивый вид на улице на церковь😊
😊😊❤❤❤❤
Think this is a wonderful investment for you both.That bedroom is so beautiful and I can't wait to see what you do with it. What an inspirational couple you are.
Thanks so much! 😊
Diego and Joana, Beautiful property I would try and keep all the old trimming especially the ones over the chimney and also as much of the old floor tile if possible and don't worry this won't be the last properties you and Joana will restore with your enthusiasm and hard work you will succeed , like you said you have the majority of tools needed to do the work
Congratulations on your new project ! It’s nice you have one bedroom left to see the woodwork and moldings. And the tile in the kitchen? is gorgeous !! Can’t wait to see what you do with it 🥰
Congratulations on your new home. I love it. Love the idea of a little get away or possibly a rental.
As far as restoration whatever you choose to do with it I'm positive it will turn out wonderful as you are gifted with skills and a eye for decor.
Im excited to see the start of this project. ❤
Congratulations! 2 projects at the same time. Great!
The house is indeed a very good investment. With all the skills you two have developed, and the quality of your work, you could do very well with restoring and selling old houses. 😊👍
See you next Sunday!! 🥰🌿♥️
It’s a beautiful house. I love the facade and all the beautiful woodwork and mouldings around the doors, windows and the chimney. The doors that do remain are beautiful and the windows depending if you want to restore with new glass or get new wood clad windows made will let in so much light. If you can add the ceiling/second floor back in, I think I would. It makes much more sense for it to have two bedrooms. Did I miss the bathroom or was in already torn out? It looks like you might want to start by making sure the house is sealed from the elements. Will you be plastering the exterior? Ah, I can’t wait to see those shutters painted blue. I imagine that the village has an ordinance about exterior colors. I will love watching whatever you and Joanna show us! Thank you!
Thank You so much! me too cant wait to start
For your new property, given that you are in the middle of the village what about commercial space on the ground level and then an apartment for rental Airbnb. A little cafe, bistro or bakery might be nice.
A new blank slate ! It's interesting that you don't have a vision yet for this ; when I visit a place like that, I immediately get my head filled with ideas XD For instance it's kinda sad that the previous owners gutted it so much, it's very likely there was at least one other bedroom like the one that remains, and it was probably just as pretty. Plus, the ceilings are pretty high already, it's such a waste of space to empty half of the second floor... I'd look into rebuilding that, probably.
But overall, I think the function will dictate part of the form : if you want an Airbnb (which sucks imho) it's very different from trying to have a summer house to spend time in when you want some time off, for instance, these are two very different things to plan for. If you want to sell it, it's going to be necessary to make it look mainstream and bland, although I think would be a crime (that bedroom is gorgeous !)... So the end goal will matter quite a bit, and the rest will follow.
Either way it's going to be interesting to see what you do with it. I'd love to see 2D or 3D plans for what it looks like now, and then for the projected result of the renovation. It's something that I regret not finding for your house (unless I missed it ?), some visuals to see what you're starting with, what you want it to look like, and what remains to be done. It'll make things easy to discuss in your comments, too.
Отличный дом для реставрации! В ваших умелых руках станет просто прекрасным!😊
i am absolutely convinced this new and exciting project will be as fun and as interesting as the renovation of your house has been. Every video, every moment have been great, so i can only imagine what great times come ahead, so... GO FOR IT, i am happy that i have the opportunity of sharing this with you two, it is going to be awesome!!! Bravo.
Wonderful! Anything you do for this lovely property and village will be a boost. What a great project. Very smart planning.
I'm really excited about your new, side project. I can't wait to see it evolve.
Perfect investment property. Whatever decisions you make it is a benefit to you and Joana!
I love the location of the new house. So pretty.
The house could and will look amazing.
I was taught to start at the top & work down. 👏👏❤
This is really exciting. It is rare to see a young couple where both of you have so much talent and initiative for such challenging restoration projects. It is so great to see that you got a property with such great potential which includes a restored roof. Well done!!
If you want a temporary staircase to access upper floors, Dan from Escape to Rural France made something pretty useful but temporary to avoid using ladders all the time. Might be useful here.
Hi Mr Leone. I admire you and your wife very much. Restoration of an old building is a privilege and a major project. Clearly the two of you have the skills, energy and determination to accomplish whatever you set out to do.
I think the little room was a kitchen because the counter under the window has a drain hole. Not uncommon for the kitchen to be completely separate and closed off from the other rooms in those days to keep the cooking “mess” out of sight. Nowadays everyone seems to want an “open concept” living space. But not me and it seems like you don’t want that either. Is the second house still in the southwest part of France? Is it in the Languedoc region? Fantastic wines from there. You are both amazing. A bientot….joe.
Absolutely gorgeous! I hope you can preserve and restore as much of the remaining features as possible, like the woodwork, the cement tiles and even the windows (I've heard it is possible to get old windows double glazed). It could be a really great opportunity to learn even more about restoration and the use of traditional materials, like lime. It could be a real gem! 😊
What a lovely old building, even its bare state, with you both working together, it will be beautiful again, congratulations.
It seems the building opposite needs your loving touch as well, could be a big renovation business for you both.
Looking forward to this project on the side, sending best wishes and ❤s from Western Australia.
congratulations! it's good for you and for us, to watch more of your renovations! good luck!
We all are very habitual to see you guys working on your home renovation all of a sudden this new projects. It’s excited and surprisingly different. I’m still want to watch you to work on your previous house completion video.
It is really astonishing to see you making so much progress professionaly, and as a family still being so young. Congratulations for the hard work with beautiful results. This house has many beautiful doors, windows, tiles, high ceilings, I really like it. I am sure you will find the way to make the best out of it while the ties between both of you grow stronger and strongers. Chapeau!!
Well done on the purchase! Very exciting. As one of the others commented, two bedrooms (with a possible third child’s room in the attic) and two bathrooms (one upstairs and one downstairs ) with a quality kitchen and lounge/dining area would be very attractive. Very rentable and a good investment for you
To make the attic space useable, you might need to put a little more work into the roof. It would be nice the get rid of the diagonal braces that break up the space, but I'd worry about some of the old beams. To be confident the roof will hold up without them you would need to shore up the dodgy areas and slip in replacement beams (as has partially been done here and there). I agree that the place has potential and it is within your reach. Looking forward to seeing where you go with it.
I would love to see a terrace out the window that opens up to the roof from the attic. It would be an awesome place to have one for the view. Just think if you put your office space up there then you could work from the terrace. Would you have to get permission from village counsel to be able to add a terrace on the roof? Love the new place , lots of possibilities for this project. Love , Love, Love the old tiles especially the ones with the birds on them and the ones you said was probably the kitchen area. The room you said might of been a laundry or bathroom , I don't think it would be a bathroom with windows in the doors. Well I'm excite to see what y'all do with it and also your home.
I love the village house!! ❤ I can’t wait to see what you do with it.
My husband and I have renovated 12 houses in Australia, like you we have loved every bit of it. They are a ver y good investment, we sold some to finance the next one or build a bigger house to live in. We are now in our 70s and have a great nest egg. Well done
