Wizi - I'd rather have a house this age than something built post war; the Victorians knew a thing or two about building to last.  In the case of the roof, to be fair it is the original roof so it has lasted quite well ( 116 years ); it's just there is a limit to how much it is worth patching it up.  Anyway, I'll see what the costs of the various options come to.
