Second bedroom:
Once part of a large dining room/lounge it was partitioned to make a study and (for some bizarre reason) another external door added. This is going to be divided into 2 rooms - a 2nd (spare) bedroom and a sewing/craft work room for Deanne. The partition is going where the ceiling changes height. going to replace the outside door with a window.

The outside wall was lath and plaster - now all cleared

The right hand wall (from the bedroom door) was plasterboard over a polythene covered plaster wall. Chipping back the plaster revelaed an old stone wall - all the plaster has now been removed.
Clearing around the (boarded up) alcove revealed a bricked up door with an oak lintel. We decided to remove the partition wall (between the alcove and the door and re-position it so that the alcove becomes a feature in Deanne's work room.
