Arrival on a summer morning, from the gravel court at the north-east, with low sun from the east and green hills behind. In front, the stone car barn: gritstone walls, two tall oak-boarded doors and a curved copper roof over a band of glass. Behind it the east end of the house rises as a gritstone arch, and the long north side runs away to the right: larch boards over a low gritstone wall, a row of narrow vertical oak-lined slots, a flush larch front door, and the copper crown above. A flagged path runs along the house, with a dry stone wall and a long wildflower bank beside it. Off brief: the east window should be 2 m wide and 8 m tall behind oak fins, running from the ground; here it is a wide, plain window raised over a row of small windows, with a fire glowing inside, where the fire is at the west end. The car barn has a plain barrel roof rather than the drawn saddle, and it stands hard against the gable with no gallery link between them.

The notes

rendered

Sheet 06.

Nothing tells you what is inside. The larch door sits flush in a deep oak frame, cut through a 1.2 m gritstone base wall.

Seven narrow oak-lined slots light the ensuites, the laundry, the boot room and the back kitchen. Copper crown above, larch between, stone below.

The stone car barn sits forward of the house at the east end, with its oak doors facing the gravel court. A short larch-lined gallery with narrow oak-framed windows links it to the boot room.
