Free: Internal doors (Torrance G64) - 4 internal doors (3 teak? and one unused B&Q composite one) The three wooden ones are 76cmx196-8cm; two of them have glass as shown The B&Q one is 828x2040mm and is still in its packaging - but because of its construction it can't be trimmed a great deal, which means I can't use it. I might be able to deliver if interested, but these really need to go very soon as I need the space they are taking up.

Free: Shopping Trolley (Torrance G64) Gifted - Be the envy of Lidl with a shopping trolley like your Ma used to have (if you're my age). Lovely "vintage" style and, despite a few bruises and marks, still fully functional. Should scrub up ok (but bear in mind there may have been fewer potholes in the 70s)

Free: Oil filled radiator (Torrance G64) Gifted - This is old and definitely not PAT tested, but it is thermostatically controlled and works as it should, even if it would benefit from clean and paint.

Free: Dining table & 4 chairs (Torrance G64) Gifted - Quality mid-century dining table with extending leaves. Nice and solid though the top is a little marked and worn - easily brought back to life with a little work though! This helped serve many a family Christmas meal, but now surplus to requirements...

Free: Office desk (Torrance G64) Gifted - Single workstation unit with cable conduits to keep your workspace tidy. Would work very well as a craft table too as the worktop is quite square. It's quite heavy and unwieldy so it will probably need a van (I can deliver if interested)

Free: Dehumidifier (Torrance G64) Gifted - Ok, this is a fairly ugly thing as dehumidifiers go...but it works fine and benefits from a large reservoir; it's probably ideal for an outbuilding or somewhere it won't be seen that often.

Free: Squash racquet (Torrance G64) Withdrawn - Wilson squash racquet. It did its job at the time but I've moved on from this one. It works fine but would probably best suit a beginner or perhaps could be enhanced with different stringing.

Free: 12 string acoustic guitar (Torrance G64) Gifted - Otwin 12 string acoustic guitar. This has a nice sound but realistically is not that nice to play. It didn't do me any harm though and I got some nice sounds out of it before I bought a decent 12 string. It has an attractively aged top (solid I think) and I'd use it as an ornament rather than an instrument. Or for house-selling photos, as seems to be the thing these days...

Free: Sewing machine (Torrance G64) Gifted - Singer featherweight ii portable electric sewing machine. Includes manual, footswitch...worked fine when stored and still does as far as I know. My mum used it a lot and it should still have a lot of life left in it. Needles and other accessories you'll need to sort for yourself but all should be available (I have a lot of stuff here but it might take me a while to locate and identify...)
