and Sunny. The building was unoccupied.
The Schedule of Condition is to be read in conjunction with the accompanying portfolio of photographs particularly where cross reference is made to
these photographs.
Covered, unexposed or inaccessible parts of the building structure have not been inspected and therefore not included within this Schedule. Floor
and ceiling voids were not inspected.
A detailed inspection of the existing services has not been undertaken as part of this Schedule and therefore are excluded from the contents of this
Schedule.

2 Property Description
The property comprises a 19th
century two storey building laid out as offices. The property is constructed of ironstone with a limestione feature
banding, the property appears to have been constructed in two stages, with the original bulding to the left hand side, and a later extension to the right
in the same style construction. the rear section of the right hand side is of brickwork masonry, with only the front and side elevations matching the
original construction.
The property was greatly extended over time, and a community hall/sports hall was added to the rear, this was demolished circa 2010, and the
openings between the two structures infilled with concrete blockwork to leave the property secure.
Original building constructed in stone with pitched slated roofs, internally plastered finishes. Original windows throughout.

1.0 EXTERNALS
1.1. Front Elevation
1.1.1
Front elevation right hand
section of building
The right hand section of the building
comprises of an iron stone solid
masonry wall with limestone banding,
limestone window surrounds window
heads and window sills.
The sandstone and ironstone structure of the
building is sound with minor areas of pointing
erosion.
1, 2, 3, 4
The windows to the ground floor areas
are boarded up with sterling board and
are of timber construction. The first
floor windows are of UPVC double
glazed units.
The windows to the ground floor area have all
been vandalised and smashed, these have
been protected in the interim period by sterling
board. As the underlying external face of the
timberwork was unable to be viewed therefore
we would identify this area of these windows as
being in poor condition.
4
There is a cast iron downpipe to the left
hand side which was decorated
although was in poor condition.
The cast iron rainwater downpipes are generally
in poor condition with splits joints and bracketry,
the downpipes appear to be blocked due to the
amount of vegetation within them, furthermore
the drainage outlets are somewhat choked with
debris and soil.
7, 8 and 9

ITEM LOCATION & ELEMENT DESCRIPTION CONDITION PHOTOS
There is a small masonry dwarf wall to
the right hand side of the structure
which is enclosing upon the boundary
wall of the property.
The limestone banding to the left hand side of
the front elevation is suffering from excessive
erosion with apparent loose stones at high level
and extensively weathered corbel detailing to
the left hand corner of the building.

The first floor windows are generally in
fair condition and there are no signs of
obvious defect from external inspection.

1.1.2 Single Storey Link
Building
A single storey link building constructed
of brickwork masonry between the
original Drill Hall to the left hand section
and a later addition to the right. This
area of the property has a flat roof of
unidentified construction at present,
with an external rainwater downpipe
discharging to the front, there is an
opening for a window within the area
which has been boarded with sterling
board.
The masonry at high level is excessively stained
with efflorescent salt and water stainage,
believed to be penetrating from the flat roof
behind.
10 & 11
The rainwater downpipe is in poor decorative
order and again was discharging into a choked
outlet.11 & 12
1.1.3 Front elevation left hand
side of the building
The left hand section of the building
comprises of an iron stone solid
masonry wall with limestone banding,
limestone window surrounds window
heads and window sills.
The pointing and weathering of the sandstone
limestone elements of the structure are
extremely poor, a number of loose limestone
blocks are identifiable on the front elevation
namely adjacent to the door entrance.
17, 19 & 20
6 BS1715
ITEM LOCATION & ELEMENT DESCRIPTION CONDITION PHOTOS
The windows to the ground and first
floor areas are boarded up with sterling
board and are of timber construction.
The first floor windows are of UPVC
double glazed units.
The timber front entrance door is suffering from
degradation of the decorations, and is missing
the lead capping to the head of the door. 15, 16 and 17
There is a cast iron downpipe to the
right hand side which was decorated
although was in poor condition.
The timber windows are generally in poor
condition throughout having had to be boarded
due to vandalism. A number of windows remain
in an unboarded state and are generally in
sound condition although decorations are poor.
18, 22, 23 and 24
There is a small masonry dwarf wall to
the right hand side of the structure
which is enclosing upon the boundary
wall of the property.
There are a number of hairline cracks to the bay
window indicating historic movement to the
property. 24, 27 & 29
The timber used detail is in poor condition
having last been redecorated some time ago. 25, 26 & 28
1.1.4 Left hand side elevation The left hand elevation is made up of
ironstone and limestone banding with
cast iron rainwater downpipe to the
centre section of the area, there are 2
no. UPVC windows fitted within the left
hand section of the elevation which
serve the wcs to the ground floor areas.
The ironstone and limestone sections of the
building are suffering from extensive weather
erosion, wearing away the masonry significantly
although the pointing appears to be holding up.31, 32, 33 & 36
The rainwater downpipe is damaged and does
not connect the building to the ground floor
level. The outside downpipe is cracked
damaged joints are leaking and is incomplete.
34 & 35
7 BS1715
ITEM LOCATION & ELEMENT DESCRIPTION CONDITION PHOTOS
The windows to the rear of the property are a
later addition, evident by the concrete lintel
supporting the masonry above. The windows
themselves have been boarded over in order to
protect them against damage.
The structure appears to be somewhat exposed
to the elements as the location of where the
rear structure has been demolished in the past. 40
1.1.5 Rear Elevation Rear elevation of ironstone banding
with intermittent limestone banding to
the rear, a low level section of dense
concrete blockwork infill at the site of
the previous structure's demolition. The
left hand side of the structure is a
masonry built later addition which
appears in poor condition.
The ironstone and limestone banding to the
property appear in good condition, with little
identifiable pointing erosion with the exception
of a small patch to the limestone band to the
right of the right hand side window. 45
Access to closely inspect these areas
was unavailable due to the overgrowth
of vegetation to the rear.
Close access to the masonry built section of the
property was unavailable however from distance
it was clear that the pointing to the masonry
brickwork was somewhat eroded and therefore
in a fair to poor condition, the windows to the
rear section of the building are of UPVC
construction and generally have been damaged
or boarded up.
The timber windows to the original section of the
building have all been boarded up as they have
all been vandalised in the past.47 & 48
The timber eaves detailing of the property is
heavily worn and soiled and generally in poor
condition.45 & 47

1.1.6 Roofs The property generally comprises of
pitch slate roofs of varying directional
pitches.
The roofs are generally in good order on the
whole however there is 1 no. significant hole to
the rear of the original structure which is
allowing water, pigeons and various debris into
the property, this has had the effect of
collapsing internal ceilings as identified later in
the report.
1, 2, 41 & 48
There is a small flat roof to the top of
the bay window to the front elevation
and to the link building between the
original structure and the later addition.
There are isolated areas where vegetation is
growing out of the roof itself, this will
undoubtedly be having a significant effect on
the underlying weather tightness of the property.2
