After the costs of the various professionals, are you going to weight up the estimated cost of renovate vs rebuild? Things like how awesome it looks with this vs that will probably sway you more, no?
I'd prefer to keep that outer stonework if I could, but the old roof has to go.>
Yep that's the stage we are at now, at some point we will have to bite the bullet and make a decision as to what route we go down. As the structural engineer said, whichever route we take, at some point we will wish we took the other one. The house has been in the family for 100 years or so, so would prefer to keep it really, but unfortunately I don't have a bottomless wallet if it comes to it.
In all likelihood the stonework will have to be covered at some point as it is in a remote windy and wet position, so will need some protection.
Roof is first on the list to go, it is asbestos, sitting on top of an old thatch, and has no insulation and leaks.
