Walking Through Old Doorway

Standing in old doorway discovered behind partition wall

The doorway that we discovered behind the plaster walls and kitchen units is now fully opened and we can walk through it.

Taking down the plaster walls to show off the tuffeau walls is giving the house back its old-fashioned look and feel.  Having the old doorway with the rebates for the door carved out of the stone and a wooden lintel is a fantastic bonus.

We have also taken off the very old green plaster that was directly on the wall behind the modern plaster blocks and generally tidied up the wall.  We will now lime mortar the joints in the tuffeau and also render the lower 2 courses of stones with lime mortar render to stop the tuffeau deteriorating any more.
