Here we go again! We’ve bought an end terrace in Heaton Norris, Stockport, part of the south Manchester conurbation. It’s rather to different to our last house in Hull. It needs work. Quite a lot of work. It’s had very little done to it since it was built around 1963 – still with the original kitchen, bathroom and upstairs single glazing. And no central heating. It gets an Energy Performance rating of 51, a low E.

But this means great potential for improvement and decent retrofit, by for example leap frogging a gas boiler, straight to a heat pump, whilst preserving the mid century style.

Maybe when we’re done I’ll do a proper write up all about it, but in the meantime (some) family and friends keep asking for photos, so I’m adding this quick blog.

And if you’re really keen, you can Subscribe to get an email when I post.
