Pine Wardrobe

Our latest purchase to co-ordinate with other bedroom furniture, is a huge vintage pine wardrobe
Delivered with a struggle as very heavy -  thank goodness it dismantled into 4 parts for re-assembly in the bedroom.

Central Heating Boiler

Unfortunately  this week the old Gas Central Heating boiler that was fitted to the cottage  when we first bought, gave up the ghost, died and needed a new circuit board, price approximately £200 plus fitting. We decided that it was more economical to have a new A rated more efficient Gas Boiler fitted to replace it, which is now in place and working after a very efficient customer service time of only 24 hours after diagnosis (independent local plumber)

The new boiler, a Baxi also comes with a 7 year guarantee on parts and labour!

Kitchen almost finished....

We are making good progress with the kitchen at the cottage.
We now have a cooker hood, glass and stainless design fitted above the stove, and have bought a butcher's type chopping block, although at the minute don;t want to damage the wooden top chopping veggies on it!
It is really lovely in this room when sun streams in through the velux roof windows.
