Posted By: NanuchkaHi Peter,
The house is dressed stone on front elevation (conservation area) has elaborate cornice work inside, the back is a higgledy piggledy mish mash of walls, levels and roofs with zero overhang. The very exposed side elevation is single skin, large, flat and blank with a couple of small windows, and a decent eaves overhang, and suffers badly with condensation, so it’s a relatively simple win and job, tho I know it won’t solve all problems. I’ve discussed it in a fair amount of detail with a sustainable buildings expert (thank you Nick Parsons!). The loft unfortunately isn’t an easy win as it’s got rooms, so will have to rip everything out and start over. I am planning to do it, but it’s much more invasive and expensive so can’t just yet. Is all such a headache!

Posted By: fostertomI think this calls for a highly bespoke mix n match plan, in which small details at various locations will be all-important and should determine the local solutions - and make sure those all link up into the best total scheme possible, and affordable. In other words, employ an architect with practical experience of different methods and of listed-standard buildings. A tall order but not imposible.
