The bedroom features a beamed ceiling mainly the original floorboards and the floor is as you would expect a little uneven. Whilst renovating we exposed the beamed ceiling in the lounge which was covered by plasterboard. Warning - the ceilings are low in the lounge and particularly the centre beam and doorway to the kitchen. The fireplace was also re-opened. It had been blocked and covered by a 1960’s hearth & fireplace in front. The stairs are narrow and the hand rail is low (it’s the original handrail) The stairs are open to the kitchen which gives a feeling of more space. Outside there is a very small Front garden space with original steps and gate (which weighed double before it was stripped and powder coated) Buckley was a famous pottery and brick making town. The pottery look was a brown with yellow writing. There is a local museum above Mold Library.
