  • We moved over to NI on Friday 13th Nov and it's good to be back by the sea. Had my lunch today 30 secs from the house, on a bench looking out to Scotland.

    Mostly unpacked now, and contemplating what order to do the various bits of work required -

    1. Re-rendering and roof/chimney fixes to stop damp.
    2. Lowering ground level to side of house by 1 foot+ as some utter pellet thought it a
      good idea to raise it so it's currently a foot higher than internally.
    3. Rewiring
    4. Perhaps knocking through front and back living rooms.
    5. Decorating.
    6. Probable replacement of uPVC windows and external doors with something less bollocks.

    Can't afford all of it now, but we'll see how we go.

  • Amazing. I have to say that view was very tempting during our search (I remember looking at the listing for that dark blue terraced house, but I wasn't going to go for it, looked mad though). I seriously considered the old coast guard house just down the road. And had yours in my favourites for a long time!

    Very happy for you.

    This is where we're moving to. Quite a lot of work ahead of us. We may still follow in your footsteps in 5 or 10 years' time!

  • Your place looks great! Loads of good stuff in there to work with. I love the stained glass. We have a beaut of a frosted/etched (?) yacht on our front door. It's on my list...

    The coastguard cottage is being done up now - lots of scaffolding and stuff. IIRC it didn't have much garden, which may have been why we didn't consider it.
    Similarly the blue one you mentioned had a super awesome view and was pretty decent inside but only a small terrace back garden I think.

    If you're over here any time soon give us a shout. I went through your endz the other day to get some firewood from Nash's. I don't understand what they did with the other two roads...! (joke)

    Think of all the house you'll be able to afford in NI if/when you make the move!
