Like putting lipstick on a pig. Tbh, the outside of the building looks quite nice- from what you can tell from that photo.
Point 1- Read the rest of my sentence. Point 2 - A digital storage format that affords higher quality sound reproduction than standard format mp3. A distinction sadly lost on most people these days, who fall for the propaganda myth that everything new is, by definition, an improvement. However, considering a lot of the subtlety-free offerings currently popular, reproduction quality is probably irrelevant.
It's a listed building (not sure what grade) but it defo needs a few licks of paint to smarten it up.
If it's Grade II then you have to keep the exterior and any extensions sympathetic with the original appearance. If it's Grade I even the innards have to be preserved. You'd probably have to get permission to even paint it. Apparently there's also something called a Grade II* which I suppose must be somewhere between the two. If it's Grade II and she wants to redecorate the outside, I think she'd have to take advice over the colour and quality etc of the materials. I think the guidelines vary according to which council it's under. Don't change the windows, ffs.
It's of historical importance. It's where King Hadred of Mercia used to go solicit anal sex from the whores of Fionaewulf.
The outside has been painted, but before I moved there. The inside has been painted before. I'm pretty sure it has to be white on the outside. I don't think the windows can be changed.
The powers-that-be go spare if you put plastic windows in - even if they look the part. If the windows are rotten beyond repair you have to get tailor-made specialist replacements that cost a bomb.
Cheese is on my bucket list... Although I define bucket list different to most people. To me it's a list of places I WON'T go, at least not before I kick the bucket.
