The houses here

What Appleby is actually built of.

Appleby-in-Westmorland sits in the upper Eden Valley, sandstone again, with Boroughgate running down from the castle to the river. Around it are farms and estate cottages, and a steady amount of restoration work on older properties. It is the furthest regular corner of our area and the houses there are almost uniformly old.

Work this far out is planned rather than casual, so we do more of it in one visit: kitchen, utility and boot room drawn together, fitted in one programme, by the same men. It is a better way to do it in any case, because the three rooms share a wall more often than not.

Questions from Appleby

Do you travel as far as Appleby?

Yes. It is the far end of our regular area rather than outside it, and work that far out is usually planned as one programme rather than a series of visits.

Can you do the kitchen and the utility room at the same time?

It is usually the sensible way. They are often back to back, they share services, and drawing them together means the storage ends up where it should be instead of being split between two jobs done a year apart.
