Bath Stone Cottage - Renovation project - updated - 25.12.2013

This cottage situated in Bath UK, has been in our family since 1870's. Originally built to house pigs, this cottage holds so many personal memories that we have decided to undertake a full renovation. This work commenced in October 2012 and we moved in on 20th December 2013. Just in time for Christmas. My Grannie, Grampy and my Mum would be so proud. WE DID IT....
Update - April 2016 - we have now commenced works on our garage in the grounds of our.property. You tube video to follow.
Update May 2017 - We have now purchased a 300 year old Bath Stone cottage near to Bath (UK) which we are advertising as a holiday let. Again we have restored this cottage and have kept many of the original features (exposed wood beams, inlenook fireplace). To book, visit AIRBNB and search Roman Cottage Colerne. Also see my youtube video for more details - • Video

So much for the Bath stone cottage. It got obliterated. Too bad.

I don't understand - the lovely old cottage has been demolished & replaced with a 'new build'. Did planning regs prevent just buying a plot?

[@clairieannie1]

I’m a little confused. How much of the original building intact? Maybe it is just how the photos are edited but this looks like a total demolition and new build and not a renovation.

Terrible destruction of historical cottage!! Video was awful.

[@gisawslonim9716]

Well, only part of the original building remained, you knocked down a huge chunk, an entire building by the looks of it and what you fixed up and incorporated does not at all blend in what was there and the bits that remained. Dreadful taste in bathroom, the living room is hideous. Never saw an uglier house.

How much was the cost of the renovation?

I would love to send you an image of my cottage as the front is almost identical...thank you...

It’s not a Reno it’s a rebuild almost

[@sinnombre4357]

I wonder what is the minimum % of the original that has to be left to still be considered a "renovation"?

[@pamelazahn4816]

Lovely home, I hope your ghosts werent put out too much.

Wonderful to see these old houses restored. Shows respect for those who have put the effort into building the cottage in the past.
