Back to bare bones on one of my favourite houses. Timber frame from 1620's this wall was covered in multiple layers of plastic paint up the stairway, plus cement patch ups.

Base layer of non hydraulic lime with h**p and fibres, then limecote to finish.

I've started another business! Not only am I undertaking lime restoration works I've started a shepherd's hut building business.

Something I have always loved is coach building and making interesting spaces to stay for a holidays/ glamping/ camping/ garden rooms or to live in perminately.

This is our first example under way!

•Hut is 6 meters long by 2.2m wide.
•Fully insulated.
•Double glazed timber windows and stable door.
•Log burner.
•Double bed.
•Bench seating.
•Fully functioning kitchen with fan oven, 4 ring gas hob, under the counter fridge and Belfast sink.
•Bathroom with shower, toilet and basin.
•Gas hot water heater.
•Full mains electric hook up with multiple sockets and down lighting and walls lights.
•Will be cladding externally with waney edge cedar boards.

This will be FOR SALE within the next few weeks, ready for the glamping/ camping season or an additional place to live!
Social media and website still under construction.

We can build huts from 3 meters long right up to over 6 meters!

Please spread the word. Any enquiries please get in contact through here or the website on the sign in the photo!
