My sash windows are painted in the original sack tan colour and my roof is slate and lead, each bedroom and bathroom fire places are intact, except the lower two which blew out and were replaced with a later period version I've restored the original front door and painted it the blue colour I found in places where the iron gutter clips are In all it's very much of the original So stick that in your pipe and smoke it Foxy Have a lovely Friday :))
