Admirable, although a big pet hate of mine is home owners who decide to paint over the beautiful stone work, thousands of years old and some twat comes along and ruins it with a pot of gloss. Don't get me started on painted Bath Stone, should be made a criminal offence.

shouldn't the top bit be in red?

you wouldnt have coped well with my day a few weeks back, I have a mate who is a painter, i went to see him to pick something up on a job he was on, a massive house just outside Wells, nice big drive with electric gates, set in a nice amount of land with a Orchard and duck pond ( you can picture the type of house ) anyways, the house was made with bath stone, he was painting it battleship grey, i couldn't believe it i made some remark about what the hell is wrong with the owners and the guy comes out of his garage ( to fit 6 cars ) and says " Oh i have always wanted a grey house " , i said it should be a planning issue if you want to paint bath stone, he replied the house was only 40 years old, so no historical importance, i left him after that

I've got a something to tell you that might make you feel a little bit better, especially if the extent to which you feel the rage correlates to the age of stones.

Most houes are around about a hundred to two hundred years old max. It's pretty much like painting a new build.

The stone could well be thousands of years old though

That is true.

....I agree, it looks better when it's not plastered in gunk.
