Built 1895, semi-detached (rented, long term) 3 bedrooms. 2 storey.
1 full length (25ft) side wall facing property opposite with 18ft between
them. West facing. Opposite a Golf Course and a farm behind.
1 rear wall & side of 10ft wide by 12ft long. 2 storey (Kitchen and
Bedroom.Boxroom)
1950s addition to long wall of bathroom. 8ft square. Interior tiled.
All windows double glazed under 5 years ago.
Is it worth cladding externally (Might need planning consent although not a
listed etc)
or is it better to clad internally when I next decorate, if so what with ?
Internal would seem cheapest and easiest generally for outward facing walls.
6-8" insulation already in loft.
Anyone any experiences or recommendations ?
A popular combination seems to be to insulate internally on the front,
and externally on the other 3 sides. This way you retain the nice
appeareance of the front. What suits best depends on the property of
course.
