Working in Slad
Made famous by Laurie Lee's Cider with Rosie, Slad's charming cottages benefit from sympathetic bathroom renovations that preserve their rural character.
Slad valley features scattered stone cottages and smallholdings, many dating from the 18th century.
Narrow lanes in the Slad valley can make delivery of bathroom suites and large shower enclosures a logistical challenge.
the Severn Vale gets damp winters with heavy rainfall. Bathrooms need good ventilation and proper waterproofing — condensation on cold stone walls is a particular issue in older properties.
properties in the Severn floodplain areas around Tewkesbury and Gloucester should consider ground-floor bathroom resilience — easily removable lower panels and raised electrical sockets are practical precautions.
