Hidden Treasure

Old fireplace

Now got the keys to Park Road and had a chance to have a really good nose around. Some original features but no hidden treasure as yet. Let’s check the bedrooms.

Interesting little mantle pieces? I wonder? Friends were with us at the time, and Mrs R dared me to prise off one of the covers beneath the mantles. One crowbar, 17 stones of operator and ten minutes later and wow, definitely hidden treasures in all three bedrooms.

Some cleaning and blacking are needed, but these little gems deserve to be on show.

Sackville Street Bedrooms

When purchased, Sackville Street had 2 bedrooms which included a large one at the front. From the beginning, the plan was to create/reinstate a third bedroom/study. This we did with a stud wall at one end of the main bedroom. This still left a decent size bedroom, as shown in most of the following pictures.

The bed came from an advert on Facebook marketplace costing £21. Please note the missing crystal knob bottom right leg. Apparently, the grandchildren were recreating Bedknobs & Broomsticks and broke it!! Readers of an age will know what I mean.
