Yes! In Pembrokeshire
Oh where are you? My family is from there. I had a very joyful 10 days in Newport in september

Fellow Pembrokeshire-ite here (Parents from Fishguard and Lowertown). Not much family left down that way now, though. I miss it so much.

Not far from there! Fishguard area ~2 miles from the ferry terminal
Newport is bloody lovely, I working there last year . And I usually head out that way when mushroom hunting, some nice woodlands. And gorgeous beach.

Yes! In Pembrokeshire 👍 the never ending renovation continues...
Totally agree on the potential, despite literally every room needing to be redone, once sorted we might find ourselves never needing to move again. (Let's see how kids change that plan...)
Definitely thought about french doors there but we've decided to get the single skin blockwork walls under the window built out to the same thickness of the stone walls either side and put in slate sills. (And new sash windows)
We've got a lime plasterer in currently so he's going to cover all the stone back up again so it will all be hidden but undulating finish so you can appreciate the stone.
Was tempted to leave that end wall exposed and just have it pointed (it backs onto a garage so not really exposed so damp proofing less of an issue) but that wall is in a bit of a shit state so long story short that's getting covered as well!
Also our joists above the ceiling there are modern timber nothing special like you'd get in a gorgeous timber framed house in England. Must have been replaced in a renovation decades ago.
