Kensington Park Road, Brislington

“We put a 'forever home' amount of effort into making this house convenient and comfortable. All the fundamentals are solid. New boiler, new consumer unit, mostly new wiring. Then there are lots of things that aren't as eye catching but make a big difference. Insulation added to floors, loft, and walls make the house warm and cosy. Old blown lathe and plaster walls and ceilings removed, replaced with plasterboard, and skimmed. Doors re-hung so they open towards the wall rather than into the room, and moving all the light switches to accommodate the new arrangement.”
