Out of all the rooms in the house, the dining room was probably in the worst state due to problems with damp which were remedied with treatment, installation of a double damp course membrane, lots of concrete, and good insulation. We had hoped to preserve the original oak flooring-but on examination, it turned out these boards were resting on beams which were in turn rotten, and resting on a few lumps of granite. So now the walls, floor, and ceiling have all been insulated...As had been the case throughout the house, the patterned wallpaper had also been papered over the doors. Lovely!
