is your house over 100 years old?

[raikesi]

This is my old house - IIRC the plaque on the right which has the terrace build date says 1886 - can't read it in the pic tho:

The other decorations are heads - the original fixtures from when the houses were built - an interesting touch I've not seen elsewhere.

I think mines only 1 year old, you can determine a house's age by counting the rings right ?

Mine was built in 1938 and I still have the original plans from the developer.

I'm about to rip all of the fireplaces out. I feel a little bit guilty but they are huge and are taking up massive amounts of floor space in all of the bedrooms.
It's also being completed gutted and having new windows, boiler, electrics, plumbing, kitchen and bathroom fitted over the next couple of months.
Then next year I'm hoping to do an extension and convert into the loft space, adding a further two bedrooms. It'll be completely unrecognisable in 18 months time.

I dunno but the developer probably walked with the dinosaurs :/

Shame on you... History will cry.

Nice terrace but the dish aerials looks absolute pants; each to their own, I suppose.

yeah. i'm convinced it's haunted too

It's just low frequency noise. Fear ye not.

My own house in London was built in 1920 or there abouts, so not 100 years old.

However, my girlfriends parents house in which I'm writing this post now was built in 1690. It's an old farmhouse 20 miles south of Norwich. So much history to tell.

Mine was built around 1890. 2 bedroom detached cottage. The fireplace used to be an open 'basket' fireplace between the 2 reception rooms, which is probably where they did the cooking, as the current kitchen is an extension.

A lot of history in the area too, the people who used to live here 100 years ago probably used to work in one of the two gunpowder mills that sit on our little river, now a nature reserve.
