Picture
Spenford House is an imposing and rare part timber framed listed grade 2 period detached village house, set in general size established gardens adjoining open farmland with wonderful views towards Grinshill. 
The timber frame has taken quite a beeting over the last 50 years where it's once solid oak frame held together the form and structure of the house. Now it can only be described as poorly looked after. There is cement mastic and expanding foam being injected into the frame in order to stabilise it. Of course anybody knowing anything about timber would know that these do not MARRY and therefore should not be used together. it is my mission to try and rebuild the timber frame so that it stands another few decades to come. I will be doing this using traditional methods with infill panels, sheep wool, and lime mortar.
