We have appointed an architect, Peter Snell, and had a couple of meetings to talk about our thoughts and plans.
Peter’s first advice was to get a set of measured plans done for the whole house, including elevations. These were completed a couple of weeks ago, and this week we should get our hands on the new plans that Peter has drawn up for us with our alterations in them!
Very excited today as we had Anglia Land Surveys round to ‘measure up’ and produce a Measured Plan of Waterloo Farm.These plans will essentially be the building blocks of how we move forward on changing the internal spaces to make the building a little more family friendly and suit our lifestyle.
So, it’s been 10 days since we bought Waterloo Farm and it still feels quite surreal! Each time we go I have to pinch myself to make sure I’m not dreaming, and I find myself wandering round the house saying “I love this house!” which can only be a good thing when you consider the hard work that is to come in the not too distant future! We’ve been there quite a lot over the last week or so, especially so over the weekend. The kids have had a great time playing on the trampoline and outside generally which has made me really happy as the outside space was a major factor in our plans. I think they will take a little while to become real ‘outsiders’ so to speak but we’re determined to wean them off their various electronic gadgets before too long and make the into children who live in their wellies!
