Hello everyone,
I have a question that has been bothering me for a long time.
Many years ago, my family and I bought a plot of land with an old settlement house from the 50s. The settlement house has a 150 sqm extension facing the garden. The settlement house and the extension each have their own entrance but are also connected to each other. The extension has been extensively renovated and this is where we live. We only use the settlement house for the laundry room and hobby room. Both, the settlement house and the extension, are built as boundary developments.
The condition of the settlement house is not good. The roof will need to be replaced within 10 years at the latest. The facade has cracks. In the basement are the house connections for oil condensing boiler, oil tanks...
I am now considering whether I should demolish the settlement house, leave the basement standing, and build a new house on the old basement. The new house does not need any bathrooms, no entrance, no staircase (everything is available in the extension).
What would you do?
Best regards,
André
