If you love a good property programme, you\u2019re in for a treat, with the chance to follow along as a house in Appleby undergoes a very clever renovation.\u00a0 Starting next month, you can tune into fortnightly video diaries and watch as 33a Chapel Street is transformed from an uninhabited house that was previously flooded, to a warm and cosy home that\u2019s ready for rain in the future.<\/p>\n

The owners of this 1800s terraced house have chosen to renovate it in a way that makes it more resilient to flooding while taking into account how older, solid-wall buildings are designed to work.\u00a0 They\u2019ve given permission for the build to be filmed by a professional film-maker, so that anyone living in older properties or in a flood-risk area can pick up tips to help them improve and adapt their buildings, too.<\/p>\n

\u2018This renovation is really exciting because it\u2019s a unique insight into the different things to consider when you\u2019re retrofitting a solid-wall house, especially when you\u2019ve got flooding in mind,\u2019 said Emma Greenshaw from Cumbria Action for Sustainability (CAfS).\u00a0 \u2018Viewers can follow the decisions that the building team and their architects are making, and see all the adaptations they do and the materials they use. It\u2019s all about minimising the damage done by flooding and making it quicker, cheaper and less stressful to get moved back in if it happens again.\u2019<\/p>\n

CAfS is overseeing the filming, which is possible thanks to a grant from Historic England as part of their funding of the Appleby Heritage Action Zone (HAZ).\u00a0 It\u2019s an opportunity that CAfS has long been hoping for, as a charity that helps people to reduce their heating and electricity bills.\u00a0 \u2018Here in Cumbria, a high proportion of people live in solid-wall homes that they struggle to keep warm and dry,\u2019 Emma said. \u2018Judging by the enquiries we\u2019ve had down through our twenty years of supporting people in the county, we know that a lot of householders will benefit from seeing how these kinds of walls and floors can be insulated and how to maintain them without damaging the building structure.\u2019\u2026<\/p>\n

The professional vlogs will start in September, and meanwhile you can see the house and get introduced to some of the people involved in a short video made by CAfS \u2013 including Nettle, the Lake District Lime dog! It\u2019s available on the CAfS YouTube channel now, with ongoing updates on CAfS social media using #ReadyForRain.<\/p>\n
