Turn of the 20th century stained glass if I'm correct..... gorgeous!
Just about bang on Mike :thumb: #54 Cleveden drive Glasgow, originally tobacco or cotton/coal baron sandstone mansions (G12 zip) :bonk:$$$$$$$'s my sis lives on Cleveden road and current project is another similar house but nearly all of them have been split up into apts for the range rover jetset crew! :lol:
Sandstone has a life expectancy of 150 years so may be a last chance investment area before it goes tits up 15-20 years from now! Seeing a lot of blown sandstone blocks and rotten timber during rip outs:doh: deeper you go dearer it gets and margins start shrinking:thumbsdown:
Plenty of work for now so come Monday it's a hi ho hi ho.......:thumb:

Sandstone is what they had plenty of back then. Here in the states I get involved with some of these NYC brownstones that once I start bringing them down to the studs and beams they real become grand pieces of work. Most of which is covered up by 120yrs of shitty patch jobs and renovation. Breaks my heart to rip out t&g 5/4 pumpkin pine flooring but it's in such a horrid shape of disrepair that I have no choice :pout:
FYI pumpkin pine is an east coast wood species gone extinct about 90yrs ago
