Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and having just discovered it it looks such an amazing wealth of information on older properties.
My experience with period properties is zero, but I love them and have seen this one that I really like. However, I have no idea what to look out for and what are the things that might sound alarm bells, what are the immediately visible things that could cause problems or devalue the house.
The house is apparently from the 1700's with the extension added in the 1950's.
I do know that this has had work done on the original part, for example it looks to me like the windows have been made taller and the roof extended in the parts above them perhaps. And I don't know if the living room which is the upstairs of the original part would have always been one space with exposed beams like this or if that came later.

If anyone can offer any advice, observations, suggestions it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
