Our Summary
- This substantial outbuilding presents exciting potential for conversion (subject to necessary planning consents) into additional accommodation, a home office, studio, or recreational space
- The original owner spared no expense in creating what was, for its time, a state-of-the-art luxury dwelling with remarkable amenities including: - A garderobe (indoor toilet) with dedicated access - An indoor laver (sink) with an architectural outshot to the southwest gable - A raised dais before the grand fireplace, thoughtfully expanded during restoration to better define the living spaces - An ornate screen above which a sleeping platform was constructed The construction of such a sophisticated dwelling required a team of highly skilled craftspeople: stonemasons working with abundant local granite, blacksmiths maintaining the tools needed to shape these substantial stones, joiners, and at least one master woodcarver responsible for the exquisite cusped window frame that remarkably survives to this day
