Agencies and other headaches, keys and cleaners, running costs and contracts...in short, all the things we spend so much of our time doing behind the scenes.<br>

You may well find that isn't enough. I have flagstones myself at home laid directly on the ground. Even with rugs my feet were cold and they sucked all the heat out of the room.
I have double rugged - a large rug (aka as an old fashioned unfitted carpet!) with more rugs on top.
We have slate in one of converted barns , looks like its always been there . Personally i think if it adds to the charm and is original you should go with it.
