It was already built when I bought the house about 18 months ago, but I am fairly certain it was built at the same time as the extension to our house, so only a few year ago. Outside is rendered and then painted. Yes there is a DPC - I think it can be seen on some of the photos I...

The shed is approx 3 metres deep by 3.5 metres wide At the highest point it is 2.4 metres and at the shortest it is 2.2 metres I haven't really set a budget, as i figured it will cost what it costs and it will just have to take longer if it starts getting expensive.
