Pretty cottage with sagging floors

Hiya, My cottage is about the same age and I know exactly what you mean. First, I would check and see if it is structural. There is no point in doing all the work, then finding out that you are going to have to replace it in 5/10 years when it folds in on itself. I stripped the floors in one room and it was a massive job. Old floorboards have big gaps and mine had lots of old nails and other bits that I had to remove by hand one by one. Eventually I dark stained them and bought a carpet that leaves a 1m gap around the edges of the room, to give it the period feel, but cover up the not so good boards in the middle. After doing one bedroom, I have screwed Flooring boards (thick special chipboard) to the others. Made it level and reinforced, then bought a good underlay and carpet. To be honest, it looks and feels so much better, I wish I hadn`t bothered with trying to strip the floors in the other room. Please show us pics when it is finished :)

Lovely old floor but a little bit worn and no shine.

Lovely floor! Yes, it looks like terrazzo to us. Terrazzo can be sanded and polished to revive its original colour. It will definitely make a difference to your floor. Maintaining it like this will also help extend the terrazzo's lifespan, too. Let us know how it goes!

Ah thank you, I did use to seal diamond hard finish and put about four coats on. I think I will lightly sand and varnish again over every year. I'm reluctant to get a big mat as knowing my lot they will see that as an excuse to walk even further into the kitchen without taking their wellies off! Aarrrrrggggghhhhhhhhh, I have got a small door mat and a rug where the shoe rack is

New kitchen. Does this flooring work?

I quite like the wooden ‘pastry bench’ although if actually needed for that purpose, marble would be better. Also, for practical use, personally think it’s too far from the sink & cooking areas. I would also be unsure about the floor, I like it but there is just something that isn’t right - as you said, maybe it just needs some copper elements in the room (handles) to pull it together. I’d keep the direction of the ‘grain’ as it is - I think it would look odd all in line but it’s worth trying it before committing.
