<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zaria123, post: 1533343, member: 13595&quot;][ATTACH=full]227666[/ATTACH] Thankyou folks for the lovely comments. WE felt the same as soon as we saw the house.</p><p><br /></p><p>The house needs a bit of TLC which I have started by replacing the windows which were horrible 1980&#039;s wood which didn&#039;t at all suit the house. The one window which is steel is an old window but not sure from what date, maybe 19th century.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m afraid real wood sash windows were beyond my budget, so I opted for Conservation Approved UPVC Sash windows.</p><p>I don&#039;t think any of the pieces are original to the house, as it was a complex of 4 stone commercial buildings.</p><p><br /></p><p>Originally in 1791 a mill to dye linen, then a spade mill making 12 spades a week, then a carriage repairer, then a motorised carriage repairer.</p><p><br /></p><p>A fireplace expert dated the fireplace to approx 1741, which predates the building. The Victorian fireplace was installed in what was then a loft area accessed by ladders to the Mill Managers Office, now with a small set of stairs and we have converted it to a bedroom (1 of 8).</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately the waterwheel is gone, however I do have a poor quality photo of it in 1901, and the stone well where it used to be is still there but now with a little bridge to access one of the entrance doors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
