Sold again? Let's hope so.

Just noticed today that the farmhouse has Sold notices so hopefully this will be the end and it will be great seeing the house being used as a home again rather than a half collapsed uncared for derelict building :)

And with all the fencing removed. How much better than when it was in a state of collapse.

Looking better all the time. scaffolding gone and the hoardings too. Great to see it in this restored state.

The scaffolding sheeting has been removed today from this old building allowing us to view the vast improvements that have been made. The roof line is looking great, no longer sagging. The slates have been relaid and windows glazed & painted. A lot of re-pointing has taken place.

Excellent to see this preservation!

Things are starting to look great! The front windows have been renewed/replaced/repainted/glazed.

Now the heavy scaffolding for the roof has been removed, the roof-line straightened & the roofing tiles relaid. It's still not possible to see all the work carried out but I do believe this great old building is back on the road to recovery, not collapse.

Hope to post some updated photos shortly ;)

Progress at last. Today there were workmen painting the front sash windows. So after over a year of no progress, at last it appears that the work to renovate this old building has at started at long last!

Finally there seems to be progress being made on this site. As for the house itself it looks like the roof tiles have been removed, you can see them piled up on the first tier of scaffolding (level with the top of the memorial cross in this photo)

The shutters are hanging off the windows, whether this is by vandals or allowing light for internal inspection I can't comment.
