Many of us may dream of owning a beautiful, period property. While there is, of course, a certain appeal in a modern, contemporary home, there is an undeniable charm to an older building that can be hard to replicate — the sense of history and character that only comes with age. The one thing that can immediately destroy that illusion, though? The dreaded pebbledash facade.
Up and down the country, beautiful original brickwork has been hidden from view, smothered in the lumpy, crumbly pebbledash coating, destroying your home's curb appeal. You see, as much as we now appreciate the characteristic features of period homes, throughout history, they haven't always been viewed in quite such a flattering light. And, as a result, many beautiful older homes have since been marred by modern interventions, with pebbledash amongst the most offensive of these contemporary additions.
