S2. Ep 8. In conversation with Carolyn, a proud custodian of a beautiful Grade 1 listed property
Description
In this episode I am joined by Carolyn who is the proud
custodian and owner of a beautiful Grade 1 listed property in Carlisle. The building has a fortified tower dating back to 15the century with alterations dating from the 16th century and an extension in the late 17th century.
The listed entry has little detail and what it does describe
is the exterior of the building and some of the materials used to build the property. It briefly mentions the interior by saying “Interior of the tower is thought to be of some interest but unable to gain access at the time of survey.
Small single-storey additions to tower are not of interest.”
Anyone who has seen a listed entry will know that is
typically all you get, if you are lucky! They can be even more vague.
We talk about what it is liked owning and caring for a
listed property and the lessons she has learned along the way. What and how to implement improvements to your home, dealing with an act of God and the importance of getting the right people involved when you need help.
It is a great listen and hearing first hand advice from a
Grade 1 listed property owner.
