It has always been a wish of ours to have a beautiful gypsy caravan here at Faldonside but they have proved to be very hard to find and geographically very difficult. Therefore when we found this one 15 minutes away sitting in an old workshop it was obviously meant to be.! We are picturing the renovation of this wonderful Vardo to take a few months with the work including
• The rear wheels repaired
• Insulating with existing traditional wool insulation plus the addition of a modern bubble foil insulation
• New canvas fitted
• Fit fabric to the internal roof
• Fitting of any existing decorative trims that have been removed
• Installation of the stove on a suitable hearth ( install a co2 alarm)
• Sand original floor and paint or varnish
• Paint or re-varnish the inside
• Paint the interior & exterior
• Hand paint in gypsy style
• Install a 240 volt hook up with mcb consumer unit and internal sockets ( inspected by a qualified Electrician)
We have already found its new home, sitting in the magical orchard here, surrounded by the apples trees, the veg garden & cut flowers. A very exciting project ahead.
