Works are making excellent progress at Bells Cottage in Somerset. The roof is currently undergoing re-slating after the bat-friendly (Bat Safe) breather membrane was successfully installed. Simultaneously, internal renovations are underway, with the development of new rooms, insulation, plastering, and the installation of underfloor heating all moving forward swiftly.

This property features a spacious open-plan reception room connected to a kitchen, making use of the original high loft space, along with a garden room situated in the existing chicken coop. Additionally, a new first-floor section has been integrated, offering extra sleeping and bathing space.
